Well I thought I would keep ya'll up to date on this. After talking with Ron over at Okuma last week to see about fixing the problems I was having with my reels he told me that they were going to replace BOTH reels with 06 models all I had to do was ship them over to Cal and he would make sure that everything went smooth.Well I just received them UPS today and they look pretty sweet and they have changed a few things on them ( which is cool). If they preform like they look (and I don't see why not) that would be just fantastic.
I would like to thank Lake for getting the ball rolling about this and a BIG thanks to Ron for helping get this mess worked out. If anyone has a problem with there reels contact Okuma and I'm sure they will help with them.
Its hard to find a company that will stand behind there product now a days but in my personal opinion these guys are a bunch of stand up folks that back up what they sell.
So thanks to Ron & Lake and the folks over at Okuma.

P.S
I'm going to try them out on monday throwing some swimbaits at Canyon.
I'll let ya'll know what happens.
