    OKUMA SLV Reels, February 16, 2011

    I bought an OKUMA SLV 4/5 for my 4 weight rod after a friend recommended it and it is awsome. Very smooth.
    Now if you buy from Amazon read below, go to the OKUMA site first to figure out which reel size you need.

    “I’ve flyfished for over 40 years and couldn’t make heads or tails out of these designations until I got a look at a chart that listed the maximum length of the backing line (yds.) and its breaking point (lbs. – relating directly to its diameter). Obviously, the copy writer didn’t have a clue about what’s actually relevant here.”

    I couldn’t have said it better. Without a trip to the OKUMA web site I wasn’t able to figure out which line weight each reel was. I tell you, when I look at a web site if it’s not clear on what they are advertising or can’t find it, I just move on. I have been buying from Amazon for a while now, come on people please fix this. I hope this doesn’t fall through deaf ears. Thanks

    From what I can tell the reel sizes are as follows:

    50/12 – SLV 2/3
    95/12 – SLV 4/5
    140/20 – SLV 5/6
    145/20 – SLV 7/8
    150/30 – SLV 8/9
    170/30 – SLV 10/11 This one I’m not sure about because there is conflicting info on the okuma site.

    I hope this helps!

    Best reel for the money…., October 8, 2010

    I actually own 3 SLV’s in different sizes. I am a custom rod builder, and I can say with no doubt that this reel is one of the best reels for the money, or even 2 to 3 times it’s price, out there. It is not milled, but it is plenty light, end plenty tough with a very good drag system and super smooth retrieval. The large drag knob is very nice during the fight, and the reel is pretty nice to look at on any rod (if the looks matter to you). It is also a matte finish which I like when fishing for easily spooked fish. It is a no-brainer at under 60 bucks!
