I have a set of 65 Riots... good solid reels with VERY good line lay... (they cast like a rocket) a decent line clip and very smooth... downsides... well... I've heard they can be weak under load but I've had a near 30 on mine and it was fine and the line can sometimes get under the spool....
there is no freespool other than backing off the clutch and tightening up when playing but all non free-spool big pits are like this for the money they are bloody good value...
I now use the Wychwood 5500 QD (baby big pits) bloody excellent reels and match my Dwarf's perfectly

Being a big fan of Okuma's I would have no hesitation in something like this.

My mate bought 3 ready for our France trip a couple of years ago.
One stripped gears on the first fish, the second, despite having good line lay initially, got worse and worse as the days went on.
Half way through the week, he was using his spod and marker reels and my spare reel as he didnt trust the last one.
