You ever figure out a solution to the problem of line getting inside the Okumas? I had never had that issue before yesterday. I put new line on my reels night before last and made sure to put the max capacity, 330 yards of 10#, so I would get accurate lineout readings on the counters. I ended up fighting those reels all day, I never could get the line back out without breaking it. Re-stringing 14ft poles by yourself in a 16ft boat is no fun, especially when you get through two thirds of the eyes and the weight of the reel causes it to flip over and the lever hits the deck and trips so you cant pull any more line out so you run back to the other end of the boat to flip it back and while you do this the line falls back out of half the eyes you had done so far. Probably would have been real funny to anyone watching. I went through this drill about 5 times yesterday, I was this close to throwing the damn things overboard.
