I have the Inspira...

I have the IS-50... It seems to be an ok reel for 60-75 bucks.... I'm going to put it to full use soon on some Cod to see how it really stands up.. Already have it loaded with PP 50#... I know someone that had gotten one back in Oct.. it's different colors but the guts are the same.. Talking to him made me buy mine... he tangled with blues and bass for 2 weeks straight and no-hicups.. also never had a bail close either.. He used to have a stradic 6000 which has no problems.. but now it's his backup reel..He said the drag on the Okuma is much smoother.. also he had no problems with the body flex when fighting a big fish.. unlike the earlier Okuma's and other inexpensive reels..

the eclipz is the new SW reel by Okuma... I heard that the bail problem still exists with that model reel..
