This is my second Trio, but my first of the high speed "s" models, and so far I love it! I use it mainly for ocean fishing in the southern California waters. The drag is super smooth and the reel feels solid through and through. Kinda wish the handle had a larger or more durable feeling material, but this is a vey minor gripe. I highly recommend this reel for ~30lb braided line.
Also Okuma customer service has been great in the past with previous equipment I've bought from them.

These two were purchased to be part of a light weight, heavy duty rig for all day bay fishing for specks and reds. I am pairing them to two American Rodsmiths H3 Titanium Ultra ML 7' Med/Light Trout Special with the recoil guides. I just got the reels in today and I must say that I think this will be a great setup. The reel feels light, but stout and well put together. I think that you would be well served by buying this reel. I cannot wait to go tear up the bays!

I have caught a number of Redfish using the Okuma Trio-40S reel and it is excellent. This Spring it will be my choice for whatever is running in the Gulf.

I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of this reel. When I received it. I removed all factory tags etc. put it on my new 7' freshwater rod and tried the crank. immediately I noticed a slow spot or "sticky" spot when turning the crank. I am very displeased with this. With the name Okuma and by digging a little deeper in my pocket, I thought I'd be getting a good quality reel. Though I am fully satisfied with its looks and over all construction, something just doesn't seem right with the way it is operating. I will try and see if either the Amazon seller or maybe the Okuma warranty will live up to its name.... wish me luck.

This is my second Okuma Trio reel. I also own the http://www.amazon.com/Okuma-Trio-Spinning-Fishing-Reel/dp/B003IIPMTK/ref=pd_sim_sg_1

Both reels are great. The high speed reel is a little larger than the other, but it is still a good fit for inshore fishing. Okuma appears to make high quality products. The reel action is very smooth and casting is great. For the price, these reels are a steal. I've started a collection and actually sold off my other reels because of the Okuma's. I'd definitely recommend them.
