I'm itching to try the Okuma Metaloid MD-30 I picked up this winter. This
reel and the Quantum Energy are as smooth as silk - the only iffy part is
that both reels are shiny enough to signal airplane traffic.

Not to take away from Shimano's (which I own quite a few), but I think a
lot
of people are missing out on a great reel that's big bang for your bucks,
the Okuma Avenger. I use the AV-20 and It's replaced my Sahara 1000's.
Plus
the price was only $34.00 w/free shipping.

Just looking for opinions on the Shimano SA2500FD spinning reel?
Looking at getting one and want to hear from you all before I make the
move. Thanks for your help.
