I have only had my reel for about a month; so far no problems....I hope the is not a preview of things to come. It's a great reel.

Nope, no problem here either. And unlike Fin, I have actually caught some fish on mine.

I have owned 3 of them since April. The 2 that are used the most have only developed a squeak in the rotating bale. I'm sure some oil will take care of it. I hope nothing else develops, because they are nice reels. I do tend to play with the button while waiting for a bite though, must learn to stop that with this info.

No! No problems with the OKUMA, please! I have made a grand total of 9.00 advertising these on ifish! Please, I was going to retire on the profits soon.
