    I bought an Okuma Sheffield this past summer. I am quite certain it was made in China, but that is the only complaint I have. I feel you get a lot of reel for the money ($180). I have caught a lot of fish on it and it is holding up well.

    I jut picked my first pin up about 3 weeks ago, and have used it 4 times so far on the tribs. So far I really enjoy it, and look forward to getting better at the casting etc. I have been cinsidering degreasing it and swapping out for some oil after speaking with a few others about it. Anyways, I picked up a Raven SST3 lined with some dacron20# backing and Siglon FF.

    PS: Sorry for missing your call centerpin-drift the other day.

    snapped some quickies...enjoy!

    Tommy,put a little 3m electrical tape around the slide rings,they loosen when you least expect it,kinda hard pulling your spool out of deep water as it's freespooling tons of line out!!.Ray

    I have a loomis thats seen about 8 years of service.  I just ordered a new Ross flow centerpin, ross first centerpin.  It should be a good reel if its anything like their fly reels and its american made.
