Riverside in Poco sell Okuma stuff and have a guy that repairs reels for them. Worth checking out if you're not out in the valley. Rick's choices are also valid.

Or, go this route

Kinda off topic, but where can I get a new screw for the pin of the aventa? My dads fell out when he was releasing a coho.
