I'm pretty sure that the Cabalas SSBF-55 is nothing more than an Okuma Epixor with a Cabalas label on it. I actually have that reel and it looks great on the outside but if you start to take it apart; it;s pretty cheesey. Dollar for dollar it's an OK reel.
Anybody try a Zeebaas reel?

Not bait runner but I did use my skinz glove and finger to simulate a bait runner . Yes, the Z is sweet on bigger fish. Had some well in to the 30s (and perhaps beyond ) that were handled nicely in the ripping current.
