Overview
Okuma's CV-354D is a spinning reel built with an aluminum body, weighing about 12 ounces and sized to fit conventional spinning rod setups rather than spincasting or baitcasting gear.
Spinning reels like this mount below the rod for a more natural cast and generally offer smoother drag control and longer casting distance than closed-face spincasting reels, at the cost of a slightly steeper learning curve for backlash-free casting. At roughly 12 ounces, the CV-354D sits in a mid weight range that balances all-day comfort against the sturdier feel of a heavier reel.

- One size, multi-color trim
Who it's for
Suits anglers moving up from spincasting who want more casting control and drag performance from a spinning reel. Less suited to anglers who prefer the simplicity of a closed-face reel or who need an ultralight reel under 12 ounces.
Pros and cons
- Aluminum body adds durability
- Spinning design gives more casting control than spincast reels
- At about 12 oz, heavier than ultralight spinning reels
- Steeper learning curve than closed-face reels for new anglers
Performance notes
An aluminum body adds durability and helps the reel resist flex under drag pressure compared to composite housings, though it also adds some weight versus graphite-bodied alternatives. At about 12 ounces, it favors sturdiness over the lightest possible feel on the rod.
