I have 4 Okuma Convectors that I bought with really nice 7 1/2 ft Blue Diamond (?) rods from Fishing USA for just over $100 each. They are great reels. I think the Convector is a lot nicer than the Magda Pro. I've used the Magda pros on charters and they are not nearly as nice as the Convecrtor. I think Diawa makes a great reel as well, so it's more about model to model comparison in my opinion. Just for what it's worth.
