[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]DennisW, CROSSINEYES, and others are correct IMHO. I would buy the Daiwa reel over the Okumas Madga Pro. I have several of the 15 and 20 low end Okumas and have used them for a few years. I've trolled wiper, kokes, and macks and they are nothing to rant and rave about. They do about what you'd expect from a $35 reel. I won't buy any more. [/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Now, Okuma makes a few different models and I have never used their higher end stuff which might be good but why risk it? Go buy the Daiwa and be done with it. [/size][/black][/font][font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]If you're set on getting the Okumas, I'll sell you mine for a substantial reduction off retail and I'll go buy the Daiwas.[/size][/black][/font]
