Frequently seen good deals on ebay for these. Have you considered the Okuma Aventa Pro. Basically the same reel with the same good reviews but a different finish for less money.

Are you going to use it trotting for grayling on the Tees by any chance?

I quite agree Bruce but I don't want to buy it.

Each to their own and all that!

My word, that is a deal Mr Chavender. Well spotted!

Do you know how useful that drag thingy is?

Thanks for the info' regarding the spelling of 'ledger' by the way. I'm sticking with the 'd' cos I'm a technophobe!!

not had a play with one yet ,but i beleave its a non-active drag ,in being not adjustable in use ,you guestimate the strength needed before fishing .

personally i wouldn't use the drag ,just set it so it did no harm and forget about it ,who needs a drag when you have a opposable thumb ,but at that price the reel is a steal .



i always keep the "d" in ,i guess if i went to a grammer school i'd leave it out ,but i didn't so it stays put .
