Anybody using or that has experience with okuma experior spinning reels? How are they? Are they smooth and reliable? Any info is appreciated as I am thinking about purchasing a couple. Thanks

Do you mean the Epixor? I use them. High quality, inexpensive reels in the $60-$70 dollar range.<br /><br />HeadHunt

Yup, that's it. Sorry, had a brain cramp.

Not a problem. I have had great luck with these reels. Just hose them off after using them in salt water, don't take them apart. Apply a little reel oil and they should serve you well for a long time. Okuma has really been putting pressure on the Quantum pieces of junk. I known they are made overseas but there is no comparison for the money.

I have 6 of them. <br /><br />They work great, very smooth. I use them in salt water fishing for salmon. I think they are just as good the Shimano Stradic and they are about half the price of a Stradic.
