I have 2 Okuma Intergity reels and they have an annoying tendency to free spool at any moment. When it does this, if you stop the reel from spinning, the drag will be back. Go figure!! I went with a Teton Tioga and I am very happy with it. I also replaced one with a Bass Pro Hobbs Creek which seems to work just fine, and it was a lot less than the Tioga. just my 2cents ...Rob
