Bought an Okuma Metaloid on a show special at the '02 MSBA show at the Armory. Thing was silky smooth, but it blew up during the first night of my first ever Cuttyhunk trip that June.... Was not happy, but was able to borrow a spare reel off of either Goose or Specialist. Company sent me an Epixor and stated that the Metaloid was not intended for saltwater...(So why were they selling them at the MSBA Show????) Never again for me
