'OUTSTANDING.IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN THEY SAY'

Strengths:
Incredibly smooth,takes very little to set it runnning.Incredible value for money

Weaknesses:
The check button which looks nice but is far too stiff to operate with one finger and in the wrong place.

Overall:
Check button apart this is a fantastic reel.Once you get over it being an Okuma [took me a while] and ignore the horrible screws which spoil an otherwise super looking reel.I have other named pins too,they are all good,this is the best and HALF the price of the others.Quite staggeringly good.

'NICE PIECE OF KIT'

Strengths:
trotted a stickfloat downriver with no problems whatsoever.

Weaknesses:
none that i had,perhaps a lineguard if you wanted one.

Overall:
Ipaid 97 quid for mine two seasons ago and it has never let me down on either the river or stillwater,a great performer at all times whether you are a novice or professional in my opinion.

'EXCELLENT 'PIN FOR THE MONEY'

Strengths:
Incredibly smooth and free running. Well made and good looking as well! Good solid action ratchet.

Weaknesses:
No line guard or drag mechanism. Not important to me as I don't like either on a centrepin.

Overall:
Excellent centrepin. Trotted a 3BB Balsa down a swim no trouble at all. A real pleasure to use.

Very good VFM when compared to the more expensive "named" 'pins (of which I have a couple).

Build quality looks as though it will last.

Paid £119 for mine in my local tackle shop.
