Be wary of Okuma reels, a lot of the ones I've seen sold have come back fairly quickly with problems, especially the overheads.

On the plus side though, the customer service from Freetime is really good and they do most of the repairs under warranty.

I can back Swoffa up.

I have an Avenger AV80 eggbeater and a Convector CN45L overhead.

Both reels went back to the dealer in their 1st month leaving me sitting at home at the sart of this year for 3 weeks.

What was the problems with the reels? I just got an okuma bait runner and Okuma fly reel.
