Hi everyone, i was told you could help, especially John. I need a new trout reel. I do not want to spend a mini fortune, but want something that is smooth and will not crap after three casts. I found a site that sells the Okuma Ultra Lite UL-10 for $25. Is this reel any good, or will it be junk. I posted on the Allcoast board and they said to tie it to some rope and throw it out as an anchor!! Thanks for your info. If you have any other recomendations that are also "value priced" but good quality, please post.

Thanks a bunch,
Joel
