    Those are good reels used by a lot of members. I started out with them and graduated to Diawa , due to the Okumas counter sticking and not counting occasionally.

    Diawa 17's . They cost a lot more but I have had mine now 5 years with no troubles. Check on Ebay for deals at times.

    Used both the 15 and the 20, never had any problems with either. Got 2 of the MA 15's now.

    They are a little bigger. I have the 20's and some Diawa 17's. Seems Diawa is a little smaller and much smoother. Like Sat said little more expensive but deals can be had. Okuma is cheapest you will find and Northwoods tackle has the best prices of anywhere. A lot is going to depend on how much your going to use them. Creekslick on Arkansas board runs the Diawa with digital counter. Around 100 a pop but well worth it if you do a lot of trolling because of the very smother drag.

    ive got the 15's they work for me but only had them out a few times. You can buy them and try em and Im sure you could sell them online to the un informed for more than you payed for them if you dont like them
