Appreciate the feedback guy's. I'm still lookin'. Don't remember seeing any of the Okuma's in Wally World but will be sure to check. I don't really need any offshore stuff,for the fishing we do in the Gulf.

We have the Shimano Spheros and the Okuma Salinas. I'd recommend either one. The Sphero is a little heavier, and a little more expensive. Butit is smoother than the Salina. Both are fine reels though. I have to say though, Okuma's service is very good, andthey send reelsback very quickly if you send them in.

This is what I would recommend for inshore fishing. Think smaller and lighter is better. You don't need an overpowered setup for inshore. That is just no fun IMO.
