Ready, Set, OKUMA Epixor Spinning Reel!

Otolith · 12-10-2003, 01:27 PM

A weakfish is an estuarine fish on the east coast, some call it seatrout. Related to the drums -- red drum (redfish, of famous "blackened redfish" cajun dish), black drum, spot, etc. I think there are silver, gray, and spotted weakfish varieties. The spotted we used to call spotted or speckled seatrout.

The willamete river has speckeled sea trout when we get heave rains...

Big tule, they went to a boneless-brown broodstock to protect the run. I heard the specks were an inferior species and many were found floating

I've been lucky on ifish this year, having won an exceptionally nice casting rod at ifishstock and an awesome Okuma Inspira spinning reel in a previous Ready Set contest. I already owned an Okuma Epixor reel and very impressed with them. So, having won the Okuma Epixor on the Xmas Party contest, I'm letting somebody else have a chance to see what awesome reels they are.

OK, here's the contest. It's actually 2 multi part questions so read closely before you run off to www.okumafishing.com for the answers!

First Question (multi answer)

Looking at both the Epixor models (Epixor and Epixor EB) how many different models do they offer between the two. You'll need to look at both models and add them all up! ALSO - of the total, how many are rear drag, and how many are high speed?

Second Question (also multi part) - On their News and Reviews page -

On Russ and Hunter's testimonial, last Spring and Fall, how many Striped Bass did Russ catch using an Epixor reel, AND how many Bluefish and Weakfish did his son Hunter catch on the same reel?

Last but not least, here is Jennie's standard disclaimer:

Be the first back to this thread, to answer the question, correctly.
If you have won in the last month, please give someone else a chance.
If I screw up, I can't be held responsible for giving out multiple prizes,
OK? :smile:
Any edited answers are disqualified.
Only one guess per person.
You must send me your mailing address, if you win, within two hours, so
that I don't get all mixed up with contests! If you do not, I will give the
prize to the next person in line.
Please put the item you won in the e mail header!

It's noon time, so those of you at work should be able to do this on your lunch break and not get in hot water over it.....right? :smile: GOOD LUCK!

Jeep, You no doubt had the right intent, I think everybody would have to agree with that! First and foremost, you were first back with the answer. It could probably be argued that most answers were not "technically perfect" but all had the right intent and you were first. So, congrats!

OK, so now.....read the disclaimer and get your info to Jennie....Merry Xmas and congrats on your first born.

JeepMcMuddy · 12-10-2003, 11:31 PM

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
Doing the first time winner dance!!!!

My next few weeks will be tied up no doubt, but I would like to pass on a dozen hand-tied Jigs to Jennie for another contest.

Thanks again!!! WOOOHOO!!

Jeep, wow, I'll have to keep an eye open for the ready set jig contest!

Hogmaster, I hear you have a slightly used net for a contest too? :grin: :grin:

Hogmaster · 12-10-2003, 11:43 PM

This collector's item?

How could I give that up???? :grin:

Nice job, carrying on the pay forward theme, Jeepster.

Good luck on the new arrival!

FishSniffer · 12-10-2003, 11:55 PM

Guess I'm a about ten minutes too late.

But, technically speaking, the entire line of Expior EB's have duel drag (front and rear) so that means:
11 Epixor models
2 with rear drag
5 Epixor EB models, all with front AND rear drag

That makes 7 rear drags.

Russ caught 400 stripers and son Hunter caught 150 blues and 8 Weakfish.

Now, what's a weekfish?
