Otis 2500 Spinning Reel

The Otis 2500 spinning reel was customized specifically for inshore saltwater fishermen who are targeting strong fish on lightweight gear without having to break the bank.

After 4+ years of product design and testing, this reel has risen to the top in overall performance for a reel that's under $200.

It's under 8 ounces making if feel very light, and it has a super smooth carbon drag that has enough power to effectively use 40 lb braid (although we recommend 7 lb to 15 lb for optimal casting performance).

After seeing how this sporty reel goes above and beyond the normal duty for controlling big fish, we decided to name it after Salt Strong's mascot given that he always is sure to deliver an abundance of energy when a big fish is on the line.

Otis 2500 Specs:

• Weight = 7.8 oz
• Inches per turn = 36 inches
• Bearings = 7
• Line Recommendation = 6 to 15 lb braid
• Drag = Super Smooth 14 lb
• Spool Holds = 220 yd of 10lb line but we recommend a mono backing and fill until there is a 1/4" gap

Beta Tester Program:

This version of the Otis 2500 is from the first production run of the final beta testing sample that we've been fishing with.

As a thanks for being part of the beta testing process, we're offering these reels at a $40.00 discount of the MSRP price for a reel of this caliber.

Plus, you'll get an additional 20% off as an Insider member. And the reel will come pre-spooled with 10lb j-braid 8 grande.

All we ask is that you put it to the test and let us know your thoughts after you've had some time on the water with it.
