Osprey CE Ultralight Saltwater Spinning Reel

I have caught pompano, blue fish, and trout but also landed 40lb black drum and 30lb striped with the osprey 4500. The drag is smooth and i ha e plenty of cranking power. I'm sold on this reel!

In my opinion one of the best spinning reels out there for the money. Great for trout, redfish and flounder. Very consistent and smooth drag! I’ll be buying more as well as trying some of their other products.

Maybe I just got lucky. I've had a 3000 for about 3 years now. Since the reel was given to me I decided to give it the no maintenance test. As a guide that reel has been on board my boat for probably close to 600 days. Not one issue and still using it. So I decided to go with a full set of Osprey 3000 and 4000's. We're getting ready to find out how lucky I am! But honestly I'm not even worried about it. I have full confidence in these reels.

I've had lots of on the water experience with the osprey ce ultralight lately. It's hands down my favorite reel for trout here in South Carolina. Super smooth and perfect for fishing light jigs. I highly recommend FFP reels.

3rd Osprey so far and I love them!

I’m a fishing guide in the Florida Keys and I’ve purchased several of your Osprey spinning reels. So far the reels have preformed well. The drag system is smooth and steady. One of clients accidentally hooked a 100 lb. Tarpon on a 4000 series Osprey while we were Snook fishing and he managed to get the fish back to the boat. I never chased it. I was thoroughly impressed. Let’s see how the reels hold up over the long haul. I’ll let you know.

Use these bad boys for reef fishing out of Islamorada, have caught monsters on these, mutton snappers, yellowtails and 4 ft barracudas. Cant go wrong with these! I am a charter capt and use only FFP for my reef reels.

This is my 3rd Osprey. Last week I used the 4000 CE with an 8’ rod for Jersey Stripers. Boated multiple fish with my personal best at 49 1/2” weighing in at over 48 lbs. The equipment handled the big fish with ease.

I was looking for a reel that was light yet strong and durable, When casting and retrieving and has the power to pull larger fish out of inshore structure when needed. This reel is exactly what I needed it to be.

First Florida Fishing Product reel.....Matched the Osprey 3000 to a Fitzgerald Aqua dream rod......well balanced configuration....one of my primary trout rods....
