Okuma V Series on Sale

FYI, Field and Stream in Mobile has Okuma V series reels for 50% off, just picked up an SV65 for $34.98. They have 25,35,45&55's too.
Now to find a good rod to stick it, thinking an Ugly Stik....

!!!!! Dang!!!!!

I'll be in Mobile on Friday. Definitely going to check this out. Thanks Carl!

Ask for George, he was very helpful, knew what he was talking about. Went into the stock room and dug out the 65s which had not been put out on display yet.

You can also find it right now at that price on the fieldandsteamshop.com website, FREE SHIPPING! Type OKUMA in the search box and presto!

Picked up a BPS Offshore Angler Brawler 7' rod today, so I have my new king rig for this spring!

Thanks Carl for the tip on the Okuma reels and PatRyan for the free shipping for online order info! The only Okumas I own are cheaper models on Tundra surf rods and they have been ok for the $30 I paid for each combo. The price and free shipping made it a good time to buy a couple of the V series and try them out.

What I saw online was the okuma stratus v, still a good deal on a good reel for graphite construction, but not their high end aluminum v model that sells for around $200. If you snagged one of them for $40 at the local store it is a steal....I almost bought one earlier but decided on a penn battle instead. All we need now is kings. Preferably w/o sharks. :)

Yep, its the SV, their mid-price point reel. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive.
I paid $35 for the reel, $39 for the rod, $8 for a new spool of high-vis green 15# line, $2.50 for new pack of 27# wire, $4.50 for a pack of black swivels and $4.50 for a box of #4 4x trebles. For about $95+tax, all I need is some bait and I am ready for the kings, reds, jacks, etc...

Thanks Carl ordered a v55 today no shipping.
