I love my Shimano 4500 Baitrunner. It's helped me with my eeling lately. It's a bit small for my 9' Sealine-X, but still works well enough that it's usually on there when I fish that stick. Coupled with my 7' Ben Doerr, the thing is money. Great balance.
The drag is really smooth, and it holds a lot of line.
Speaking of Okuma, I won an Okuma Avenger spinning reel in the MSBA tournament, and I've been really impressed by the reel. First time out I couldn't believe how smooth the drag was for a $50 reel. Instant autoreverse, a solid power handle, and a nice wide line roller impressed me even more. Then I said to myself "All this for 50 bones? Won't last." Since then, I've been trying to kill it. It's my suds reel, and has gotten lots of dunks as well as some decent fish as well, and I haven't noticed any flaws yet.
