The Fisherman Magazine crew teamed up with Captain Savio Mizzi of Fishooker Charters in Montauk to put the brand-new Okuma Tesoro spinning reel through its paces. With false albacore blitzing along the rips and rocky shoreline, the Tesoro was pushed to the limit against these lightning-fast speedsters known for blistering runs and tackle-testing fights. From casting epoxy jigs into foaming schools to feeling the reel’s smooth drag system under maximum pressure, the day was a true proving ground. Tune in as we break down the reel’s performance and show why Montauk’s fall run albies are so highly pursued by anglers for their fighting capabilities.
