Pros:
|
Incredibly smooth and free running. Well made and good looking as well! Good solid action ratchet.
|
|
Cons:
|
No line guard or drag mechanism. Not important to me as I don't like either on a centrepin.
|
|
Excellent 'pin for the money 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

Cons:

Nice piece of kit 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.

Pros:
|
Incredibly smooth,takes very little to set it runnning.Incredible value for money
|
|
Cons:
|
The check button which looks nice but is far too stiff to operate with one finger and in the wrong place.
|
|
Outstanding.it is even better than they say 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

Pros:

Very smooth running, Looks, feels and fishes like a 'no nonsense' good quality piece of kit.It has an excellent on/off ratchet for when your moving swims or as an occasional bite alarm while pouring your coffee.You can also buy spare spools as well as r

Cons:
|
Does not have a line guard or an adjustable drag; both of which I never use anyway. I would have preferred a well positioned small lever for the ratchet rather than a round knob but thats a minor criticism.

Excellent in looks as well as use. An excellent centrepin which even at
