As the fishing bug had bitten it was time to start building up the tackle collection again. So I asked my fishing friend for some advice and he recommended the same Shimano baitrunner reel he had. I checked out the prices online and due to the recent scarcity of funds available I decided to look for a cheaper alternative. I didn't want to go super cheap as my mate pointed out it would likely be false economy in the long run. I ended up buying an Okuma Interceptor Pro 350 from this seller on ebay. Superb bargain at under 27 quid including postage and superb service too. Ordered Thursday afternoon and considering the day off most people had on the Friday for the recent Royal wedding it turned up Saturday morning.
Nice bit of kit, comes with a spare graphite spool and has a nice smooth action. OK it's not going to be up to the quality of manufacturers like Shimano, nonetheless it will doubtless prove to be a good enough reel for the novice angler. Looking forward to trying it out on our next trip out to Kodak Lakes a Nottingham AA water later on this month. A 'field report' of this reel to follow
