Im looking a the Okuma SLV 7/8 for my orvis 8#. Need a reel that will stop a big red and not fall a part in a year. I have a 100 dollar limit. Anyone have any experience with these reels? Or any other suggestions. thanks
Cough up an extra $35 and you’ll have a helluva good reel…
If you live near a bass pro shops…go there and ask if they have any more Orvis Battenkill Mid-Arbor reels left over. Here is the link to the item on webpage…however, the webpage is listing the original price…and I’m only seeing it on the web. A couple months ago they were selling this reel for $59 in store only! I was just there again this past weekend, and they still have the same reel, but now $79. Check it out! I have this reel on my 8#, and I love it!
