Was talking to guy at the airport this morning who says this reel is the greatest thing since sliced bread.He's used it for a season without mishap.

The price is certainly affordable and I like to have backups for all my gear.But I've always been leary of Okuma products
as I've also heard horror stories too.

I researched the reel and it sounds to good to be true.Great features,decent warranty.

Anybody here have any experience with these reels.I need more than one guys opinion before I commit.

If this reel is as good as it sounds on paper its makes the Spheros I was going to get an inferior reel.I've fished the Spheros extensively and its a good reel.
