The Handle seams to be the problem,I've fished mine as long as anyone else and I've had zero problems with it...I might be the only one wink

As soon as handles started going to $hit i called Okuma and got a spare,I carry it just haven't had to need to change it ...Yet
with my luck the next sceamin steelie I hook up with might change that rolleyes ......I hope not.

I still think this is a great bargin.....Os
