Okuma Ceymar C101-A Baitcasting Reel – Left Hand Retrieve
 
The Okuma Ceymar C101-A Baitcasting Reel is a lightweight, versatile and affordable low-profile baitcaster, perfect for anglers looking to get started with baitcasting or upgrade their existing predator fishing setup. Designed for smooth casting, precise lure control and comfortable handling, the Ceymar is an excellent choice for targeting pike, perch, zander and bass.
 
Featuring a left-hand retrieve and a versatile 6.5:1 gear ratio, the Okuma Ceymar C101-A provides an excellent balance between retrieval speed and winding power. Whether you're working soft plastics, casting hard lures or targeting predators with jerkbaits, this reel delivers dependable performance without an expensive price tag.
Lightweight, Durable Construction
Built around a corrosion-resistant graphite frame and sideplates, the Ceymar C101-A weighs just 199g, making it comfortable to use throughout long lure fishing sessions.
 
Its precision-machined A6061-T6 aluminium U-shaped spool combines strength with low weight, helping provide responsive spool rotation and controlled casting performance.
 
The compact, low-profile design sits comfortably in the hand, while the ergonomic handle positioning keeps the handle close to the reel body for improved balance and a stable retrieve.

Adjustable Magnetic Casting Control
One of the standout features of the Okuma Ceymar C101-A is its external adjustable magnetic casting control system.
 
This allows anglers to fine-tune the spool braking pressure to suit different lure weights, casting techniques and wind conditions. By providing greater control over spool rotation, the system helps reduce overruns and frustrating bird's nests.
 
This makes the Ceymar particularly appealing to anglers who are new to baitcasting, while still offering the adjustability experienced lure anglers expect.
 
Smooth Gearing and Reliable Drag
Equipped with 5 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing, the Ceymar delivers smooth, consistent operation.
 
The multi-disc composite drag system provides up to 5kg of drag pressure, offering controlled resistance when playing hard-fighting predators.
 
A 6.5:1 gear ratio provides a versatile mid-speed retrieve, making the reel suitable for a variety of predator fishing techniques, from steady retrieves with soft plastics to working hard-bodied lures.
