I think you mean Okuma.
If it is this company they have been around about 10 years mostly building for other companies.
They look good but I have not heard from anybody that has one.
I know you can get a 9BB+1RB spinning reel called Metaloid for $75 it holds 220 of 17lb test. they also have a 9BB baitfeeder reel holds 250 of 17lb called Epixor for under $80.
I am going to take one apart at the show and see how well they are made.
Then if I like what I see i will bring them in this year in limited amounts to see how they hold up. and will we see how they work out.
