     The VS-15 is equipped with 11 High Performance Bearings, 1 Extreme Element Bearing, and 1 Roller Bearing for a total of 13 ball bearings. Out of the box, the reel was one of the smoothest I have ever felt. However, over time, the reel gradually became a little less smooth from normal use, which was really disappointing. It’s still smooth as hell, but it shouldn’t happen.

     Okuma has transitioned from a primarily OEM manufacturer to a bona-fide branded solution. It has been over three years since we last reviewed an Okuma product, and in that time Okuma reels have gone from just having mainstream products to producing a full range of solutions from value to full fledged premium offerings. The VS (V-System) reel represents the new flagship spinning reel for Okuma, a position once held by the Metaloid just a few seasons back.
