Okuma update
Got a call from Okuma today. I had sent them my Metaloid MDS-60 spinning reel, as it had not held up, and Kay's wouldn't service it. (Not to mention that they had sent me the wrong bail arm replacement part)
It seems as though the Metaloid wasn't designed for anything but FRESH water. They are replacing it with an Epixor EFS60, which he said was the same reel in a painted aluminum body. He also is sending my Metaloid's handle back with it, as the Epixor handle is a two piece that has a tendency to fold?!?! And my Metaloid spools will fit it, giving me more capacity than what comes with the Epixor.
I am satisfied with this development, as I really liked the reel before it broke down. Says something for their customer service anyway. I will update on how well the replacement holds up in August, since that is when the MDS broke down.
