Todd, what ashame. This problem must be new, I have six that are starting a 8 th. season and another on thier 6th. season, although I have the 20's I don't think there could be much difference on spools. What or if is Okuma going to do
about it? I did have a few issues with rods but as long as I complied with thier request about broken parts sent to them they always covered them.
