I'd stick with Shimano for ease of repair and service parts. Cabela's-unknown service and parts. Okuma are decent with good customer service, but not as good as Shimano for the salt. The biggest issue with the Shimano is with the 6500 size line roller. It's a sh*tty design that hates salt. Plan on dis-assembling it at least once per year or an expensive bill for replacement parts. (Same issue with the Thunnus reels) The 4500 size is a different design.
