Think I've got 3 or 4 of them smaller egg beaters
A pair of bait runners & 2 thread lines Like there drags which is important to me as I fish light lines 3 kg max but dont like the corrosion they show around the bail arms both my baitrunners have it & I sent them back awaiting replacement. In the meantime I purchased a Browning Baitrunner to use very smooth drag also --------------------  Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

I got the TR-30 with fishing world subscription a few months back, have it on light rod with 6lb fireline and use it for flicking plastics. No problems as yet

Depends...there is a huge gap in quality with their top range reels and anything less. Reels like the Titus Golds and V-Systems are their "flagship" reels and will perform well. Those reels are their pride and joy. However lesser reels will falter. I have a Hydro 60 (cheapo reel at $120), and it's fine so far but yet to REALLY test it. They do have good value though, the V-Systems are only $220 and I have to say they feel like a $400 reel. Only problem is that they don't have a fliud retrieve like you would find with a similar priced Daiwa or Shimano. If you want a baitrunner, go the Shimano big baitrunners. They are tough as nails!
Lesson is, when buying an Okuma, better to go with the high end reels. -------------------- DANCE!

the av15 has had the main head bearing replaced about 3months ago, on the second outing it failed again so i will not bother to take it back, and just take the loss, i will say this in there defence all work was done free of charge

poly !
You're not supposed to use plastic bearings in reels else they'll cease up Seriously though a little trick with ceased bearings if you want to get the same one rolling again. Get a old metal container whack some grease in there tie the bearing to a bit of wire & drop it into the grease now the next bit can get a bit smelly but you need to boil the grease. I use one of those primus torch's & do it out in the garage, B4 grease solidify's pull out bearing via the wire you've tied to it & e very Carefull as bearing will be very hot Work the bearing till it starts rolling again you'll see dirt /crap/rust coming out of it Then repeat process a few times till bearing is running smooth & then one more quick dip into the liquid gease as this will put a good coating on the bearing QUOTE Who is the best fisherman in the world ??? and why am I I'd have to say The Penguin cause he's a shifty little bugger & he's the master of The Miyagi Sun Techique
