Okuma Magda Pro 20 vs 20 DX, what are the differences in this reel
1789437
The Magda pro is a line counter, and the letters following the number indicate right or left hand retrieve. The DX is right, and the DLX is left.

I believe the answer is, nothing. Even when you go to Okuma's website they talk about the Magda Pro 20 but when you click there product list all models end with the nomanclature of "DX". So it's only a matter of omission.

Hey Daniel, that is kind of odd. When I purchased it I thinki remember seeing 300 on the reel as well. However the description and gear ratio is that of the 300 pro. This is something I would verify with amazon in order to insure you get the product you are intending to buy. Sorry I couldn't help :(

The #250 is a smaller reel, along the line of many Abu Garcia Models. The #350 is a bigger reel for bigger fish

After checking the box and instructions where nothing was stated about max drag. I checked daiwa's site and it says max drag is 19.8. Not sure if that is in lbs or kilos or what. I have slowed and stopped dread several fish that were pulling well over 20lbs worth. http://www.daiwa.com/reel/detail.aspx?id=605That is the link to the page where it shows a better break down on the specs.

I looked it up when I was considering it: http://www.okumafishing.com/product/view/reels/spinning-1/trio Trio-30/30LE: 200/6 (0.22), 160/8 (0.25), 110/10 (0.30) Trio-40: 270/8 (0.25), 190/10 (0.30), 170/12 (0.32) HTH I still love this reel.

it should be a spinning rod for these okuma spinning reels with large eyes starting at lower mid rod for casting, take a look at some more rods before you buy,be sure that you match them up for casting,if that bwc11022120 is a 12 foot surf rod you are ok, hope this helped you

40lb power pro is exactly what I have on mine(fierce 4000). I bought the 150yd spool and filled the reel. excellent combination.

I have several of these reels and use them for most of my fishing needs...I would use either the 8 or 10 pound reel...Not much difference on the reel-They are a tough breed.....Good fishing..

I choose this reel because I only fish for crappie and bluegill, and this reel has the quick-fire. I use 6lb test line but this reel will hold 2 and 4lb test it will hold 270 feet of 2lb and 140 feet of 4lb also I get the rear drag for more control when I get a bigger fish on. I choose this reel because they no longer make the Solstace 1000rh. I have always use Shimano. I have caught some very large catfish and bass with no problem.

The differences between the two reels are the 300 is physically bigger than the 250. The 300 is 10.2 oz and the 250 is 9.8 oz. The 300 has a higher line capacity than the 250. The 300 has a max drag of 11 lbs and the 250 has a max drag capacity of 8.8 lbs. The 250 action is a medium heavy in freshwater and medium in saltwater. The 300 action is heavy in freshwater and medium heavy in salt water. The gear ratio is the same in both reels, 5.1:1. Check out Daiwa's website for more info.

Yeah sure but that line is a little light for this reel.I think you'd be better off with the 2000 or the 3000.

Best to go online and check on the Okuma website. Also there many other sites can will tell you.My best guess is that the reel is for a 4 or 5 weight rodHere's a Amazon 5 star rating review on the reel review : OKUMA SLV Reels, February 16, 2011 By RobertoThis review is from: Okuma SLV Diecast Aluminum Fly Reel (Sports) I bought an OKUMA SLV 4/5 for my 4 weight rod after a friend recommended it and it is awsome. Very smooth.Now if you buy from Amazon read below, go to the OKUMA site first to figure out which reel size you need.

I use 20lbs power pro braided line, reel works fine and line isn't to heavy, casts far and come back quickly...

The Nomad rod is a pretty heavy duty stick. With the lighter medium tip, it would work with the Baitfeeder 50a, but I would find it out of balance. (Over-rodded, under-reeled. A 7000-8000 size spinning reel is a good balance. I sometimes use a Penn Spinfisher 7500 on mine. For Conventional reels, a 30-50 size is about right. If you are set on using the Baitfeeder 50a, Okuma also offers a Nomad Xpress, which is the same rod blank, but lighter and smaller grips and hardware, and comes in a 20-40 line weight model, which would be about perfect. (only one tip, but a lot more reasonable $)

Not really. It is very sensitive on mine, a bit too sensitive for me. Other than that, it is a nice reel but I still prefer my Omega 181.

I own several Okumas and have owned others in the past. They are excellent performers. The only ones that have failed me are those that escaped over the side of the boat when I was not paying attention. I use 40s and 50s for trolling and coastal fishing. I use 20s and 30s for throwing lures for bass. I think that the 30 will do the job for you without wearing you out. I use 8 lb. mono on my 30s and have had no issues. Great reel.
