    My cheaper Okumas aren't that good. I mean at $60 they do the job for a weekender. But...as you say the counters stick and a couple if them spin backwards out of nowhere sometimes. I have 7 of them. Good for beginners and for cheap but I'd also recommend Diawa or Penn.

    when I moved to the central basin of Erie from the west I started with the Okuma Magda pro reels but it didn't take long before I knew it was a mistake. soon after I upgraded to the Daiwa sea line sg17lca reels. now I use the sg17lc3b reels on one side and Okuma cold water 203 reels on the other side. the Magda pro reels work ok but for quality, they are lacking. I use lite bite slide divers and have never set the left rods out on the right side since I started using different reels. marking rods is another trick to prevent this.
