Okuma are cracking reels but only for fresh water - ruined a lovely epix pro baitrunner after a few saltwater outings....exage is a great reel and stands up well to sea use but need care and attention after every use. I've been using a garbolino supercaster reel for all my lure fishing this year and its a joy to use, very wide spool and casts even small lures a mile. so far its not seized up and has got numerous dunks in seawater. i just rinse it down and spray with wd40 after every use - packed away now but give it a couple of turns of the handle every few days just to check. A mate uses the mitchell mag-pro reel and swears by it, very smooth and casts well.

The Sakura is the same as the Surecatch Unity. Superb reel. The 30 is the smaller and is a superb reel. Should be available locally from any Dennett dealer.
