Not since last Sunday!! Took it out on the jetty at Port Aransas. Its a 10/11, on a TFO Saltwater (now Pro) ten weight. I've had it three years, used only in the salt. I haven't really tested the drag, etc since the biggest fish(es) on it were 30 inch Laadyfish. I rinse in fresh water after every trip, never seen any corrosion issues.
I also have an OkumaMagnitude. It has a star drag knob (as does the Integrity), but the tolerances are such that I have lost fish because the line slipped under the drag knob.
Rod $80 on closeout at BassPro, reel $45 on fleabay, and $16 for Orvis Redfish line from closing of Austin store. Extra spool for $22 on fleabay. WF10i line from Adams in Austin for $15.

Gang,
is anybody using an Okuma Integrity reel in the salt and what is your
experience with it?
