The action on these reels are great. A really smooth reel, however, the frame is larger than I like . An EF 30 is 11.5 oz I believe. That is a big framed reel if you are trying to match it to a light spinning rod. And that good looking trim. It's cheap plastic and easily wears off in short time.

I like the little UL Avenger,I think it's the AV15. I'll be buying more Okuma's as I need to replace my reels.

Great reels for the money. I own an AV 20, AV 30 and two Epix 30's. Have never had a problem with any and have owned three of the four for over a year now ( I fish about 100-120 days a year). Really smooth drag, lots of reel for the money.

Few years ago there was something about the handle coming off. I got one 3 years ago for a specific application and only use it 2-3 weeks a year and so far so good. Any news about the handle?

For a while they were giving 2 handles with the reels.My understanding is they have solved the handle problem though.

I just bought another off e-bay,it's a Fina FI-30. Cabela'a has them for $50,I got mine for a bid of $33. Not bad for a brand new reel with 6BB, and a 5.0:1 retreive.
