I bought an Okuma fly fishing reel for my wife last year.

Great bang for the buck!

the symetre's are nice.
i never heard of okuma either.

it depends what you want in a reel...

frong drag, rear drag, size, weight...
shimano's are ultra smooth, but just a tad bit pricier.

 

[DoOLiE11]

i think they are comparable reels

just hat okuma is a lot cheaper...

but i'm willin to spring for the symetre if its worth the money when compared to the okuma epix


here aer some links
