I'm liking the looks of the Okuma Metaloid reel in fast retrieve series. What's the opinion out there? How does it compare to Daiwa?

I think the Okuma spinning reels are one of the best kept secrets on the market.I used the Epix all last year and love it, where else can you find a 10 ball bearing reel for under $100. I really can't comment on the Metaloid reels, but I think Okuma is a solid, well built reel. I owned several of the linecounters and fished them for 2 years, and no problems with them, only the reset button on the top of the counter made it unhandy, so I went with the Daiwas.
