Esox, id have to argue that with you IMHO. Go into any Bass pro shop in America and ask the guys behind the counter, which would they choose too spend the own money on and a huge % would state Penn and Okuma for all but the biggest of game fish.
Were talking carp reels and both the Penn and the Okuma are easily as well engineered to withstand all UK fishing.
Id certainly take both Penn and Okuma too the beach over a daiwa carp reel. Shimano, only there better, higher end models but still, I cant see how youd justify your statement. Again, IMO.

An Okuma Maikra fixed spool is easily as capable as any Stella ! But we aren't talking big pelaric fish, were talking carp , catfish and Pike fishing.

Hi
Anyone know if you can buy a spare spool for the TReX 7000.
I've searched and even been to the Okuma page and don't seem to be able to buy one!

I tried last year to get a spare spool, no joy, a couple of places said they would ask the rep but never got back to me, shame as really nice reels for the money

I had to get the spare spools for my Okuma 8ks from Slovakia. So worth looking abroad.
