Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Helios Fly Reel - Spare Spools:
I use this reel with a TFO 5 wt Fly rod, an excellent combination. I mostly fish for larger Bass and Rainbow trout (3-8 Lb)usually from a float tube. I find this reel is very smooth in operation, has a nice large arbor for quick retrieves and a very smooth drag which results in a very low loss of fish. I set the drag as low as I can without creating any backlash from a hard long run from a big, strong fish.
The only very small knock on it would be that the drag adjustment is very sensitive e.g. a tenth turn can double the drag, so you have to be very careful in making adjustments.
