I now use Okuma Interceptor Pros IPB340s....cheaper but a class apart IMO

hi rich,
having bragged about mine last time we spoke about them i have had a minor hiccup with 1 of them which was the back wind lock stopped working so i couldn't use the reel in freespool as it just wound backwards lol,(same effect in 1 way i guess) but i like things to work as they should so its now fixed, other than that i've not had any (tempting fete now) trouble with them lol,think maybe you should have returned your to fox for investigation as they are not a cheap reel ooops i mean NAME lmao,i have a couple of okuma's as well mate, may put my little okuma undertaker on my new j w young rod should give some good fun..........cheers

kev.
