Anyone know anything about this reel? Would it be a good real for inshore bottom fishing? Handle big fluke, trip sea bass and scup?

Read my review as part of this thread:

Okuma Stuff - not "reel" good

I believe Leps Link which discusses Okuma products says it all. While Okuma has improved their reels over the years, their are a number of other alternatives which i would choose.

Guys,
Thanks, I suspected as much. I guess I'll stick with the penn #9 and 2/0 senators.

Okuma's Suck............

I bought a new Okuma Titus T10 LD.
I opened the box took out the reel and noticed that screws were missing from the side support. This could have been
a problem with the company I bought it from, who knows.The reel had a nice handle but that was it. The drag was
jerky and the over all machining
of the reel sucked, there were pieces
of graphite still hanging on the side and the inside of the reel like the reel never went through QC. I sent it back and asked for a refund. I will buy a Shimano tld 15 instead.
