[VFB] Re: Okuma Reels

[Joyce Westphal]

I have only one Okuma reel..used it for one fishing trip and with every cast the drag got tighter and tighter with each time I reeled the fish in. I've not been able to use it since as it is not trustworthy. I tried to get Okuma to do something to fix the problem..they did not even answer my repeated requests. So, my experience was, most likely, a fluke, but I would never buy another Okuma reel until they have better customer service.  Just my 2 cents worth. Joyce
