I Abused, Destroyed, Buried, and Dunked this Budget Fishing Reel... Ozark Trail Saltwater Resistant
I went surf fishing with this cheal budget reel that is sealed better than the daiwa BG. I was surprised at how durable it was. For $54 bucks, this budget reel is a beast.

Why did you return it?? You should have given it a real test over time, or taken it apart and inspected it. Also, pretty lame to exchange it after intentionally abusing it....

@@BeachBomberFishing No, returns are built into our tax system as a write off. Abusing the system hurts everyone. I don't care about Walmart. I care about WASTE of products, materials, time, energy, and ultimately the planet. I was interested in this reel but because you took it back without looking at it more closely it tells us nothing. Too much abuse, and ultimately the whole thing is a waste. You're showcasing waste and abuse. Disrespectful and not even very informative.

Great review. You should've took it apart to see how much water got inside.
You had me dying with the elevator music while dragging the reel lol
Just subscribed it’s really cool to have a big KZreadr in my hometown love the vids you’ve tot me so much keep it up!
I bought and quickly returned a Tsunami Shield 5000 this week (1st week Aug 2022) and this Ozark reel looks a lot like the one I just returned. Heck, the key they provided for the inside is practically the same. Not sure if other reels have the same wrench (haven't had to repair any of my 4 Penn reels), so I don't know. This reel may be a rebranded shield after all.
I may have to grab a few of these for when family comes to Florida and ruins my gear
Only our friend Carlos gets a decent catch during a test with shrimp. We would have gotten a hard head for sure! Great review as always!
I've already decided on my new collection: saragosa swa 10k, slammer 4dx 5500, saltist mq 8k, and Azores blue 6k. I'll just go light on braid and leader for freshwater. I see no reason to but a freshwater rig when it's cheaper to but lighter braid & leader. What good is a reel if you can't fish anywhere you want by simply changing braid & leader? Chesapeake bay fishing begins downtown below the falls, so I buy for above & below them. I gotta get some Big Tex action though. I've been to many COWBOYS games, but never fished Texas waters. THAT is a must. Too much coastal water to keep ignoring. Might have to bring the kayaks and/or sea doo for Texas, though. I've fished the East Coast, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Alaska, but never the South Coast. Might as well get it done.
Solid video dude. Would love to see an update in a month to see if there was any corrosion in there
🤙🏼great video about time someone started to actually put budget reels to the test muchlove
Lol nice.. question on your vr series do you spool braid opposite direction from traditional spinning reels?
2 year protection is only 7 bucks so add that and if it does fuck up just get a new one over and over

What size rod are you using in this video I see dawia but what length and power action
Depending what I'm fishing for I would definitely consider using that on the jetty. I'd much rather accidentally break a $55 reel on the rocks rather than $130 to over $200 reel.
Man you should reach out for some affiliate links on this combo. Highly considering buying this combo after watching this video!

Since the Tsunami Shield is an OEM reel, this Ozark trail one is most likely an OEM version. There are more out there. But never seen them this cheap before
Only one I see is 29 buck for the 4000 on sake from 39.Model number would be nice in the description. Most reels are ok after 1st day fishing but it's the 2nd use when you break it out it's fucked after sitting for a week with sand and water.I use a 8 dollar bait reel in the surf and it works great all day but smooth locked up if I try to use it the next time

That’s the difference between sealed 😂 You used a $8 reel with no seals on the beach and it locked later which could happen to a $80 reel with no seals after using it on the beach. That’s literally the whole fucking point of this tell being sealed with 13 seals.

I just scored 2 Wrath 5000 combo's for $24 each and then $45.26 to upgrade the bushings to bearings and drag to carbon washers.
The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight kzread.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!
Heads up my dudes! you can find the 4000 for 15 and 6000 for 20 in some stores!
Now I didn't bother watching everything yet do I understand from ending the reel you were abusing for an income your exchanged? That should be criminal
