Okuma are known for manufacturing quality reels for the budget conscious fisherman, and the Okuma Sierra fly reel range are no exception. These reels do not have all the high-tech whistles and bells that manufacturers like Ross and Lamson offer, but they are also a fraction of the cost.
This range of reels are precision machined, with a stainless steel spool shaft, and with a brass bushing drive system.
They also incorporate a fully adjustable teflon and stainless steel drag system, with a roller bearing that allows the drag to engage in one direction only.
