Sandman....

I too have been using my Okuma more and more lately because it is the smoothest reel I own. However, I've had a few snap offs lately, and I first thought it was just me, but you made me realize that it's probably not just me. The bail flips quite frequently. I even cranked down the bail screws before I went out last time, and still had problems. After I saw my favorite needle go sailing off, I put it down for the season. Thankfully, I see Christmas around the corner, and the Okuma being relegated to an adventure in custom bailless technology.

Even still, it's really a joy to fight fish on that thing.
