Okuma Sierra

[Preston Singletary]

You probably won't find a much better deal on a reel. Les Johnson bought a
couple for backup trout reels and wound up using them as his preferred
choice.  Another brand you might look at is Argus.  Argus has a diecast
model with an offset disc drag at about the same price as the Okuma Sierra
and a machined model with an inline disc drag for about $70.00 that is very
nice indeed.
