Looking for a reel for my 7’ medium rod and with the Black Friday sales I’m wondering which is the better of these 2 and if there is something else that would be better

The okuma C-500a looks like it is going to be a very small reel without a lot of line capacity.
I think either the okuma 2500 or the Penn 2500 will be a solid choice. My taste thinks the okuma is sexier, either one will be a good choice as long as you take care of it.

The Ceymar is a solid reel with a great drag. I’m not familiar with the Penn, but they make some great reels also.

Penn has one of the smoothest drags out there. I’ve been using Penn reels forever and never had any problems with them. I bought an Okuma Trio once and it had corroded on me within 2 years.
