Okuma Aveon spinning reel

[Hooked]

Was thinking of picking up an Okuma Aveon spinning reel, felt good. So I was wondering if anyone owns one and can comment on it?

Had one and returned it . The reel prefromed well at first but didn't hold up after a few large fish were land using it .

Although it's not the same reel, just ask Gerritt or Bill Parker how much I like my Okuma line counter! It is poop!

You caught a large fish?

 Well by your standards it was huge .

 

 Yea the pfluger trion is a sweet reel . Just ask Bly and CCMT that is what they use.

Thanks for the input all. I already have 2 Pluegers, Trion and President. Like the President, wasn't too keen on the drag on the Trion, plus a gear broke inside rendering it useless. Still gotta contact Plflueger to try to get that part.

I own one and can't say I've had any problems with it. It been rattled around in boats and in the truck and has a few battle scars but is still smooth as the day it came out of the box.

If it was bigger than that Yellow Perch I caught at the BOQ, it was huge!
