Fly fishing reel for salmon. Inexpensive reel that looked good but only held up for 5 minutes fighting a salmon and then it started freespooling. I assume something malfunctioned in the drag system but I didn't want another one so I got my money back and bought a Teton Tioga.

Pros:
Smooth and Sturdy feel
Cons:
Bearing system
Fished the reel for a total of 7 days (kings) and loved it right up until the bearing froze up solid. I have heard of others having the same problem. On the bright side, one e-mail to Okuma had a new bearing in the mail to me. Great cusomer service they just need to design a better bearing system.

i have a 5/6 integrity and i swear by that reel . it holds up great for steelhead, and makes a good back up for salmon( even the 5/6). For the price its a good buy for a good reel.
