Okuma's
Okuma 50's were my first lever drag reels when I started offshore fishing.They held up pretty good for the fours years that I used them.The only problem I seen were that the screws were starting to twist after the second season and a bunch of big bluesharks.I replaced the screws.The other problem I had was they would take a salt water bath while trolling and the drag washers would collect a salt residue and build up,which would make the drags jerky not smooth.Shimano make a product called Drag Lube that I would put on the fiber drag washer and the drags became better than new.It would last for the season.They were good for the money,but if money is the issue,look at the Everols,30/50 size.
