Jack,
thanks a lot for your report.
I was wondering if I need a new reel for the strioper clave, but I hace
this reel for a couple of years, I use it occasionally for Walleye in
the Rhine. Never thought about using it in the salt, but now I'll use
it. Saves me a couple of bucks.
Thanks again.

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.
Heading back to fish the surf at Padre Island for three days end
of September with Austin Fly Fishers. Anybody want to join us?

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