okuma or greys???

[lee_wood]

No wonder a cannot sell me reel when all this noncense is getting said.

The problems with the greys reels first occurred when they were first released. All models made now are generally spot on. Mine made in 2011 and is BRAND NEW, I'm only selling it as I bought it and a really have no use for it as a generally stick to Penn reels.

I've also heard a dam few more excellent comments on the greys reels than the okuma. The okuma mag 20 is the worst of the two, but the 30 isnt to bad, apart from it being bulky and slightly heavy.

I wouldnt call it noncense just an opinion evrey 1s entitled 2 them

And its there opinion and I do respect that.

My opinion is I never liked the okuma magnetic reels since a first held and used my mate one, especially the mag 20.

Why build the mag 20 to be a powerful little reel, with a fast retrieve, mag control for distance, but give it spool that only holds 180yds of 18lb line! That was the biggest let down for me...

What would happen if ya were to cast out and happen to get stuck on the retrieve and lose alot of line?? Unless u have a spare reel or spool of line, your basically knackered.

the okuma 20 mag is a good little reel.....I would pick this as the better of the two,just my opinion as well.

Well am obviously 'out-opinioned' here so there's not much else a can say...

Though a will go off topic here and say that what 'tonybax' said was correct, should went the little bit extra and got a truely good reel like a slosh 20/30, or even a second hand Penn 525.

More to the point though 'lee_wood' its your personal choice and as you said your also just starting to use them, so good luck .

As for me a swear by PENN REELS, so that's why am selling the greys, which is still for sale if anyone's interested...
