I finally got a chance to test out my new Okuma Integrity 8/9 Weight Fly Reel. I bought it for my 8 weight Surf fishing set up to be my all around Saltwater reel. As always with Okuma I am extremely satisfied with all aspects of the reel. This large disk drag reel was extremely smooth and carried a ton of line, which is a lifesaver in the surf. The reel feels a little heavier in your hand than some of it’s competitors, but the solid design and superior drag system beat out the competition any day. This reel is low maintenance as it does not require cork oiling and after a few times of being dipped into sand infested water not even a grain made it into the internals of the reel. For this kind of set up I would recommend buying at least one backup spool as you will want one set up with a floating line and one with a sink tip or full sinking line. The solid design of this reel alot\ng with the affordable price make it great for Urban Fly Fishermen, as we are notorious for giving our fly equipment a beating. The reel comes in 5/6, 7/8, 8/9. and 10/11 weight designs. Get yours today and get a fair priced reel that in my opinion blows the competition away!
