For that price I picked up a savage bushwacker and a xh 4000 shimano,
Its pretty tasty but I wouldnt be 100% sure on what price you could get it for.
It takes a 20g-60g I think (sorry only had it a week haha) but Ive already seen it pick up some nice fish with no effort at all.

i cant comment of the Okuma rod, but as for their reel : i cant fault them. Been using the Epix Pro Baitrunners for my coarse fishing and they are fantastic reels, not far off the shimano IMO.....their new blade reels have gotten some great reviews in the UK.
quality reels for much less than the Shimano - but the shimano and daiwa front drag reels are great kit also
