Mike,
I just sold 4 (brand new) Okuma Convector CV45L's with 30# hi-vis line on them yesterday for $50 each!! My local tackle shop said they are good reels for the money. He sells them for $80 and I saw them on eBay for about $65. 4:1 gear ratio and hold 330 yards of 30# line. They have a nice power handle for big fish too. I have never used them but might be worth looking into....
Sorry I "gave these away" these 1 day too early
I sold them because I just wanted the rods they were on because they matched my other rods. It's crazy how much we spend to make it at least LOOK like we know what we are doing!!
