I've got a couple of Okuma spinning reels--they're reasonably priced and IMO compare favorably to many higher prices Shimanos.

I've never used a Okuma baitcaster, but if their quality is similar to their spinning reels--they're probably worth looking into.

Where are you planning on using the reel?

If it's in the rivers/fresh water, check out the low-profile Pflueger Trion w/6+1 BB's. It's only $99.95 and IMO it's as good as a $200 Shimano Chronarch.
