I can't rate it enough, I searched for a while and found it to be great value for money, seriously light and very sensitive. Go for it mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobfish Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hey mate, Thats a shimano stradic 1000, with 4lb diawa td-sensor braid, well worth the dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boban Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I have 3 Okuma Aveon's, the model below the VS. They are very smooth reels and I've had no problems with line lay or wind knots. I own a Stradic and would rate the Okumas ahead of the Stradic. A completely different feel. I am very impressed with these reels but I have only had them for about 8 months, so I can't tell you anything about longevity. Looked after, I can't see them giving you any trouble at all. They also come with a lifetime warranty now, so you have nothing to lose. BTW- I run 4Lb and 3Lb Fireline on my reels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_wishin Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I've got the Okuma Inspira in a 30 size with 6lb Hercules braid. very smooth great little real probably my favorite to date. I also have a Salina 80 with 50lb Finns braid on a Shimano deep jig 200, (it's fairly new have'nt caught a King yet, then again I've only been out once since I got it).
