| Hello MuskieFirst!
As we’ve mentioned before, 2010 has seen broad introductions of new product from Okuma. Continuing with those introductions, this contest offers an opportunity win an all-new Okuma Akena round reel… an exciting entry into the lineup for muskie fishermen!
To enter the contest, simply click the link here and spend five minutes getting to know the Akena better: http://okumapromotions.com/?pid=13&source=outdoorsfirst
That’s all there is to it!
The Akena features all aluminum body and spool construction for rigidity and long-wearing durability. The drag set is all of Carbonite construction for superior performance. For active anglers, the handle set is oversized, including a longer throw and oversized knobs. The result is both power and comfort… all day long. With six bearing constuction, five ball bearings plus Quick Set Anti Reverse, the Akena is ready for all freshwater and inshore saltwater applications.
Suggested retail of the Okuma Akena is $99.99
This contest will close Friday, April 23. The winner of the reel (chosen at random) will be posted here by the 26.

Location: Hayward, WI | Me too. Can we stop the promotion now so I have a better chance at winning it? Sounds like a nice reel, and I am excited to hear that the throw length on the handles has been lengthened. I like powerhandles, but I like a good double paddle handle for a lot of stuff too.

Location: Warroad, Mn | Just to let you guys know. Been using the Akema for the past week or so. Seems to be a pretty nice reel. Been casting smaller sized bucktails, 6-8" cranks, and normal size spinner baits. Did a great job! No problems with backlashes or release problems. Nice and smooth. Used it for around 20 minutes with a top water and I could cast it almost out of sight. Did a little work with a DCG and for the little time I used it it was fine. The handle is some where betweeen a power handle and a regular handle. Seemed to work pretty well and very comfortable. Still need to do this some more to get a good feel for this. So far, so good!

Location: Hayward, WI | Doug, have you ever used the Okuma Red Isis with the double paddle handle? If so, how long is the Akena handle in comparison to that one? I guess I would have rated that one as somewhere between a regular and power handle. Almost as long as a power handle, but without the big knob they have.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I have one of the large paddle handles, and it's as easy for me to use as the Power Handle, I found. |
