As my last name is Titus, I'd love to give you a glowing review.
When Okuma first hit the market a few years ago, there were many reports of failures in their larger 30's and 50's on the West coast board I visited often.
But, I believe the company listened, and responded to the concerns thru replacing/repairing reels and some design changes.
That's all I know as I haven't used any of the Okuma products.
You should do some research on this board,
AllCoast
and search their tackle board by entering Okuma.
Good luck!
