while the okuma is a decent reel but it definitly is not something that is going to
last for more than a couple seasons. at least mine have not.
If youare fishing mainly freshwater i would reccomend the new gear drive or click type
reels being put out by redington.Here is the gear drive:

Here are the click types:

Anyway they are not really that exspensive and have a lifetime warranty. I own a gear
drive reel and love it. The drag has no problem with any fish I have yet to encounter.
Also they look pretty cool and are ight reels.
Just dropped mine the other day and bent it up and redington sent me a brand new one
within 2 weeks. i have really been impressed with redington products as a whole.
