I had an Okuma Epixor eb30 for my fresh water setup and it was great so I decided to purchase the Epixor EB65 for a saltwater setup. I was very dissappointed. It just wasn't durable. I only used it for about 3 months and it looks like I had it for 3 years. Also I'm experiencing a problem w/ the Baitrunner feature where it doesn't always catch when you engage the reel....That's not good.

IMHO Great for freshwater But I wouldn't use one for salt/surf.

Went and replaced it with a Nautil...we'll see how that works out
