Location: S.E. Wisconsin | Anybody have any feedback on these since the season is in full swing? Looking at teaming one up with my new Premier 8ft heavy for the big stuff. Also like the fact that someone is available on this forum to contact, just in case. |

| I always feel reluctant to answer posts like this when I am selling the product but this is one that deserves it.
The Okuma Induron with the power handle is the best reel I have ever used. There was a time this year when I was afraid the reel was starting to fail but after talking to Mark from Okuma I found out the problem could be solved with a drop of oil. Reel was dry. I have used my reel for just about every cast this year.
The quality of Okuma really shines through with this reel. I am sure there will others that will answer feeling the same way even if they do not sell them.
Hope all is well.

| I am running one Okuma Induron this year. I have mainly used it on my big bull dawg rod which gets used for a handful of other applications. Heavier baist, but not pounders. So far, I have to say it is a lower price reel with the qualities of a Avid, Calcutta or the $200 reels.
Where can you buy a replacment power handle for the Induron?
So far I am a fan, If it lasts more than a season or two with only oil I will be happy.

Location: Ontario, California | I'll be back in the office on Thursday. Send me a PM with your address and I will get a power handle sent out to you at no charge.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Same report. I have 4, teo 250s and 2 400s. All have been flawless once I found that pesky bearing that was looking for oil. Very nice reels so far, and I've beat them mercilessly. |
