Chers Ray .......thanks for the info.

ended up buying an okuma nitryx x400. had a shimano, abu and the okuma in me mits and have to say the okuma feels and looks the best build quality, is as smooth as a very smooth thing thats been taking smooth tablets, and was heaps cheaper than the others. It just felt a far better reel than t\'others

did the obvious thing as soon as I got it home and took it to bits and it looks even better on the inside. the build quality is amazing, looking forward to giving it a blast

probably birds nest to buggery, the clutch\'ll snap and the handle will fall off the first time I use now I\'ve said that

forgot to mention the rrp was 69.99 got it for 32.99

Mark i have fished on charter boats with lads that have come out with there new OKUMA reels and after 2-3 snags there gears were screaming, and that was just inshore drifting on the reefs etc,christ knows how they would perform on wrecks etc,i Know its a smaller reel that you have bought,just hope it stands upto the job, might have been a particular model or batch but only time will tell

[mark]

not gonna be usinbg it anywhere near a boat! Solely for spinning, so hopefully it\'ll be up to the job. It does feel very well built, and internally the gears seem much more robust than the ABU 5000 i\'ve got

only time will tell I suppose.

back up the west coast next month for a week so hopefully it\'ll get well used then!

If not it\'ll end up in my \"I really wish I hadn\'t bought that\" pile which is way too big already
