Re: okuma reels
Fair enough description of Okumas. You could do a lot worse. I've no experience of their multipliers, but I rate their fixed spools. Good value for the money.cheap enough but is half decent

Re: okuma reels
The look nice and are a decent price.... Also worth looking at are the Okuma Magnetex. The 20 version is a lovely little reel an has magnetic braking. They can be picked up for £60 quid.
