Full review
I bought this reel in June to use mainly for my Salmon fishing
First impressions are that it looks a good reel and is attractively finished
It is fitted with an aluminum spool but also comes complete with two spare spools which are of the graphite type
The reel is very smooth, running on 7 ball bearings, and the drag is adjusted by means of a 'dial knob' on the rear of the casing. I have to say I am impressed by the quality of the drag and it has been tested several times with some hard running Salmon.
Line recovery is very good with it as the reel has a ratio of 5:1
The reel is fitted with a standard handle but also comes with a 'double' handle as a spare. I have to say, I am not keen on the double handle and much prefer the feel of the standard one.
The reel capacity is stated 220yd of 10lb line which is more than adequate. I am, however, using 30lb braid and emptied the whole 300yd spool onto this reel!!
The reel is not heavy and balances perfectly on a 10 ft spinning rod.
Okuma also back this reel up with a 5 year warranty
At only £39.99 for this reel it really is a superb value for money piece of tackle and I cannot fault it it any way
