Can you get these cabos' or okuma's repaired or are the a low cost disposable reel? Sometimes the cost of a clean and service and a few parts exceeds the value of the reel. I know some shops stopped servicing low end Penn's for that reason.

Be careful just looking at the entry price...consider:
1) how much you will use the reel
2) how it will be used (boat, shore, and degree of wetness it will see)
3) what kind of line
4) who will fix/service it
5) It's history with others who fish like you.


If you plan to depend on this reel...then spend the money up front and get quality that is repairable. There is lots to choose from, that is for sure.
