Has anyone ever tried the Okuma reels? Specifically the Titus Gold.
Below is a quote from one of the big tackle web-sites
"A precision aligned T6061 aluminum spool and five sealed stainless steel ball bearings assure silky-smooth free spooling and enhanced castability. Angled teeth on the stainless steel pinion and oversized main gear provide the strongest gearing available. Lever drag with oversized composite and sealed, stainless steel drag washers make certain that these reels can endure multiple long runs in harsh conditions. "
Sealed bearing and sealed drag. I don't swim with my reels and I am very careful to avoid dunking, but it does happen. I am going with the Avet based on the information I have gotten from this site (a lot from TLap) and additional research. But for those of you skish (or whatever it's called) or swim out to a location....people that really need a reel that can stand a dunking, might want to take a look at these. I have not fished with them, or spoken to anyone who has.
anyone have any practical experience with these reels?
