Okuma Helios H89a Fly Fishing Reel

I bought this Okuma H89a for about $165.00 and it definitely compares to the more expensive $500+ reels. the performance of this reel has landed me quite a few steelheads and stripers. I have used in both fresh and saltwater and it has held up with no issues. It's also a quiet reel which minimal noise. I highly recommend this to any fly fisherman - you won't be disappointed.
