The Okuma SLV is nicely made but the inside edges of the line guides are quite sharp and would likely cut the line if the reel is full or unevenly spooled. I filed a radius on all edges of the line guides to correct this. Note the out side edges have a nice smooth radius.

I also like the Okuma cascade and wonder why there aren't more choices in graphite composite reels. A very durable reel with a nice smooth drag.

Thumbs down for the Cabelas Prestige Plus - stripped thread on the shaft; fine thread in a cast aluminum frame is bad combination.
