An Okuma Diezel dz-55 overhead reel?
Google (Oz) produced no hits and the American version is a different reel altogether.
This is a one ball bearing, star drag (what I would call) "light game reel" with a ratio of 4to1, black and gold with harness hoops and a capacity for 510 yds/30lb or 430 yds/40. I've tested the drag and it seems to be smooth and I couldn't shift it at less than full tightness. The action is also nice and smooth (no levelwind)
A mart all sports are knocking combos out at at $199.99 I'm not short of 24kg test rods and couldn't stretch to 200 bucks, but luckily, they had a spare reel without box and spanner, that they offered me for $120.
Thought it may be as close as I'll (financially) get to ever owning light game tackle.
Anybody any info? As I said, google shows no hits so perhaps A Mart have only just received 'em, or else they're made specifically for them. Even Okuma's own site has no mention of them. I've bought it now, anyway, so if it's a lemon, then so am I :-)
