My first surf fishing reel was an Okuma Epixor. It lasted about 2 months of fishing (wading) 2-4 days a week. After that I switched to Shimano and never had another failure.

Before if failed completely, I had problems with the bail closing and the baitrunner feature not working properly.

I had fished all my life but never in saltwater, and the B&T owner really pushed the Okuma. I don't know if they have a high margin, or if he really thought it was a good reel. Most of his other recommendations turned out to be sound.
