Okuma Reels??

I have two EB80's and I think they are great. They are used for throwing eels. The bait runner feature is a very useful device. This will only be my third year with them, but I woul highly recommend them. I bought them on a recommendation of a charter boat skipper from the Cape who owns many and has no complaints.

Mike Bucko in Newport last year he said Okuma's have the most bang for the buck.

I own 3 AV50's and the only problem i ever had with one was swimming back to shore with it under water then setting it down only to have my buddy knock it into the sand. Cleaned it out the next day, a little bit of oil and no problems.
