musty Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi raiders, anyone have any experience with omoto reels? I havnt heard of that name for years! Pretty sure I seen them like 10 years ago they were worth like $40 a pop from memory. Cheap and nasty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I've been using a DST300 for about 10 years & it's had a lot of use. & until recently been trouble free. It's now in need of a service but unable to find a local Agent. Have E Mailed Omoto office / factory in Tawain. Currently awaiting a reply. If unavailable locally , am considering purchasing a new DST 300 reel from an offshore supplier , approx $80.00 delivered Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framedtrash Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) there great value for money what reel did you have your eyes on don't think you would be able to get them serviced over here tho Alan Tani has done some tear downs on some of there reels if you want to see what there insides look like ive seen the VS-10's for sale over here for around the $240 mark looks alot like a avet reel but a hell of alot cheaper omoto vs 10 omoto jungle 5000 Edited June 17, 2010 by Framedtrash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) The DST300 is now in need of a service but unable to find a local Agent. Have E Mailed Omoto office / factory in Tawain. Currently awaiting a reply. Geoff I received a mail fro Omoto Tawain. There is an agent in Melb. Contacted them , not very helpfull. They claim the DST300HL is discontinued yet it is still readily available offshore. They offered me a cheap reel for $50.00. As the reel was not available locally purchased from overseas. Price delivered $79.50 Suspect this price would similar to repairing the old one Geoff Edited June 23, 2010 by Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
