is it true they only hold 190 yds of 15lb. line?
I thought they were very heavy, for their size, but it does have a lovely handle....

to be honest,it cast very well,i'm not just saying that because i'm trying to flog it,it's well made,holds around 190-200 yrds of red ice,and out of the box it runs fast,similar if not the same as the 525 slidy from penn,although the mag adjustment seems more positive than penns set.
the oil that came with it is a lot thinner than what is supplied with the 525's so a strip down and complete re-oil with the same grade as penn would no doubt see it on a par with penns supermag,except the penn holds around 75 yds more,but then again it cost £65.00 more than the okuma,i've heard they really do honour their 5yr warrenty no quibble what-so-ever.
cranking power is up to the penn as well,for £60 squid you just can't fault it,although i reckon that price will rise to around £75-80 once they get a foothold.
