Okuma SLV Fly Reel

Okuma SLV Fly Reel - Cast-aluminum reel that is surprisingly tight-fitting, with very little wobble in the spool. It has plenty of line & backing capacity without being too bulky, it is a very light-weight reel for its size. It's also a good looking reel, but the real story is that it's a very good entry-level reel. Like most Okuma reels, this one offers great value for the dollar.

Best reel you can buy for under $100. Large arbor and a cork disk drag is hard to beat in a reel for this price.

You can not buy a better reel for the price. They are not as pretty as a more expensive reel. The bearings are not quiet as smooth as a more expensive reel but if you want a reel that will do the job for a small price this is your reel.

Second Okuma reel I have bought. Great reel, love the quick drag system but have not tested it out on a large winter steelhead yet. The problem I have had with the 7-8 reel is the arbor is too small for the Rio steelhead line I bought for it and can only fit 50 yards of backing on it. The 8 wt fly line is a touch larger so I am going to change the fly line in the future to see if that helps. It is a great reel for the price.

This is a kick butt reel for the price. It is lightweight, smooth and has a killer drag system. I really like this reel!
