Let us know how this works out, as I have an Okuma, as well and would like to know how the customer service ranks for their warranty and the like.

I just received an email from Okuma customer service after I sent a note explaining about needing the handle knob. I just asked for the part number and price. In his letter today he said I have put in your order and it should arrive in a few days. He didn't say if I was going to be charged or not, but I presume he would have wanted prepayment if so. If this is the case then its supurb customer service. If I have to pay for the knob then its still great service and I would classify it as A1 at this point.

Re: Who Makes Okuma Reels
Not only did I receive one of the knobs but two, and at no charge. So they are A++ as far as I am concerned.

Re: Who Makes Okuma Reels
I own several of the Sierra model and a new SLV 2/3 for my 2wt. I have been very happy with them.
Quite a bargain for the price - especially since I do not fish big game. Thus the moniker "PanFisher"
Re: Who Makes Okuma Reels
Here is some "food for thought" for those that own the Okuma Sierra reels. I own 2 of them and have discovered that the Cabela's Prestige fly reel spool will fit on the Sierra. Matter of fact, the 2 reels are identical inside and out. You can purchase the Cabela's Prestige reel for $29.99 and spare spools for $16.99.
Get your Cabela's Fly Fishing catalogs out and look at the pictures of the standard Prestige reel and then look at the Sierra and you will see that the 2 reels are identical. You can even compare the Prestige reel with the Okuma Magnitude in the Cabela's catalog and you will see that they are identical.
Interesting.....
I own the Prestige and the Okuma and find both to be very good reels and it is nice to know that the spools are interchangeable.
