Does anyone own one of these? I've seen them in some of the major sporting goods catalogs. Theres one model in particular...the CN20 , it holds like 200 yds/20# and weighs in at 11.6 oz. Sells for $60. Any thoughts on OKUMA reels in general?

I own an Okuma Sea Bear 550 conventional. It looks and feels like crap. heh Never used it though. looks like something you would use off a boat.

Mike T had some interesting comments about their spinners from when he went to the show... I hope to offer some better insight soon ;)

I don't own any of Okuma's conventional reels but I have had great experiences with thier Fly reels. I own all kinds of reel from Penns to Tibor and the Okumna's are just as good and the prices are right.:happy: :happy: :happy:
