I'm in agreement with Jeff...the Okuma Integrity reels are pretty darn good for the money. I have the 6/7, the 8/9 & the 10/11. I use the 6/7 on a 6wt. for Summertime Southern california Surf & it has help up to 3 foot Guitarfish (sand Sharks as many refer to them) & are perfect for a Perch session in the surf. The 8/9 is a back up reel or a loaner... Very good for the money yes. I do think the Drag system is pretty darn good as well.... I should try the 10/11 on a Yellowtail... if I get the chance. Fliflicker.com is "Our" local So Cal Surf & Saltwater website...Damn fine site that Doug has put together there....

I own the Okuma Integrity 8/9 and 5/6, great reels for the money. I recently used the 8/9 down on Baja in which we got into some good bonita. The drag system performed well, I was impressed. I recently purchase their 10/11; let's take it up a notch and see how it performs. I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure it will do well. I'm taking the 8/9 with me to Alaska for Silvers and Steelies; should get a workout there. There's a message board on the west coast called Fliflicker.com and they seemed to be hooked on these reels. Ebay has them brand new at an even better price than most retailers. These reels are well worth the money.
