When you are spending around $150 on a fly reel, our pick is this one. Okuma's large arbor design gives faster line retrieval for a single action reel.  The SLV's rigid die cast aluminum construction and super strong, multi-disc cork drag will slow down the hardest charging fish.

Drag Free Retrieval - The Drag Free Retrieval system allows anglers to crank freely with no resistance by utilizing  corrosion resistant stainless steel roller bearing. This is a one-way roller bearing so the spool is only engaged in one direction. As soon as you spin the handle backwards you have instant drag engagement.

ALC : AlumiLite construction - AlumiLite construction incorporates Okuma's new aluminum body technology. Aluminum frames are very rigid and can withstand tremendous amounts of pressure and torque. These frames also provide for precise tolerances between moving parts for ultimate smoothness and durability.
