Hi all !
Does anyone know the difference between okuma raw 2 and the new salina 3 reel ,and wht do u think which reel is better ty ! :)
from my understanding they are the same reel. raw is for the american market and the salina3 the australiasian market. just a way to stop international purchases as the prices are a fair bit different.

The USA site has schematics, not so on the other.
Looks like the Aussies don't get the 30 size equivelent, but can get high speed models that aren't offered here.
Thank u for all the answers ;)I really like salina 2 reel 5000 they are so light and powerful enough to jig all day ......
You;re welcome!
I got a 30 size Raw II....but just plan on freshwater use. I like all metal reels. Seems rugged and simple, has carbon drag washers: I was also able to get mine for 90 bucks, so I did very well.
Just note the line capacites on the misc reel sizes; The Raw II 30 and 40 size are a bit on the low side for saltwater, as is the Salina 3 4000 model....the larger sizes in each line are OK.
I order rod xzoga taka si 6312 (260 usd) few days ago and would pair it with Raw II 40 size for inchiku/kabura fishing.I will use .21 mm 20/30 lb braid so it will have enough capacites
With using the braid, that should work and be a very nice combo!
thx smead,ill give it a try to this combo ,at least it will be very light rod and reel combo under 500 grams.... :)
