Okuma SVT

[Rumtan]

I bought a reel from the fishin hole, an Okuma SVT. Anyone ever try these before? I think its going to OK but haven't heard of these as fly reels before. Any insight would be appreciated. Sure it sounds Scottish or slavic but it might not be. *wink*

Okuma makes really good stuff ..... but I have used their fly stuff.

Thanks EZM for the reply. I got the fly reel.

I use a SVT on my 2wt; been using it for years, never had an issue with it.

I have the 10wt for my spey skagit setup. Really good quality for the price. Drag lacks a bit when wet. Other then that very nice.
