Okuma distance 80

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Okuma distance 80

#1 Post by Inishowenrocker »

Have it a year striped down to regrease n oil and bearings rusted n sezed to the shaft of the handle. Hasn't had a dip in the sea but rinsed and dryed after each use and not much at that. Shocked at a reed degrading that quick unlike the aerlex xsb quality after 2 years opened up and regrease for 1st time quality. Got second hand pair use once of the beastmasters 10000 bit heavy an although fresh water reels hopefully they hold up in the sea like the xsb.
