I recently switched from Okuma 15's after 3 years to Diawa Accudepth Plus 17LCB's very happy with them so far. If you search the internet you can find them for as low as $59.00 per reel. They are much smoother than the Okuma's, it doesn't break the bank to spool them with line, line counters work better and it doesn't take all day to reel them in! Haha! I would love to have some of the more expensive reels just a little tough to choke down when buying 8 to 10 reels at once. I may upgrade to the Abu Garcia's eventually by purchasing a couple of reels at a time.
