Highlights
Quality
I’ve ventured in those reels and the quality
One that i am very pleased with
The quality of this reel is good but it’s not sealed and doesn’t have the drag needed for big game
The big river is over flowing with such product
Price
This reel definitely sits in the upper midrange level of reels in terms of quality and the price is amazing
But for the price theyre hard to beat
For the price okuma reels are hard to beat
Okuma is a contract manufacturer for many other brands
Shipping
Called okuma and they sent me a new frame for free including shipping
Packaging/appearance
They claim that i caused the problem by peeling off line improperly
Competitiveness
I have a 9ft 4 pc redington medium action and some sa 5 5 weight line i fish with
I bought the 78 which holds 100 yards of 20lb braid backing and a 8 wf line
Id rather have a cabellas prestige plus fly reel if im honest
I was able to easily fit 100 yards of 30lb dacron backing and 80ft of fly line on the reel
