Okuma has a winner: 2011 Andros 2-speed Multiplier

[reelbargains]

May well be the time to 'think' about new gear for next season, even if money is a bit tight after Christmas.

Meant to post this a while back...

In October was lucky enough to play with a new Okuma boat reel named the Andros 511.

It's a small, 2-speed lever drag multiplier in the Avet, Daiwa Saltist Lever Drag & Shimano Talica form, and although I can almost hear you saying 'Okuma?', it really is worth a look. I reckon it will punch well above its weight. It's in no way a cheap reel.



If you want to find out more detail, here's what I've collected so far:

They have knocked out a few good bits of kit already. The magnetix was a cracking little reel.

At RRP of £400 I guess you are right

for the money rob they do seem good, the newer ones...magsystem are fine....nice solid alloy cage...............plenty of guts in the gears, nice big handle and a star drag that works !

only problem is they wear the wrong badge but ive been playing with the ms 15 for a while, quite a small reel for some close in stuff and its been great ........could see this range doing a job in the boats with braid at half the price of other reels

If they charged £150 instead of £60 or what ever they cost these days then we would all be using them.
I know a certain big caster from gosport quite often uses one and loves it.
