Bray I originally used Okuma fly reels for bone fishing. The finish flakes off and the magnesium reel started corroding. The reel seat is attached by screws into the magnesium body. The screws stripped out unless you remove the screws before using them and Locktite the screws. That is why I switched to TFO. According to Dick Brown in "Fly Fishing for Bonefish" page 202 he favors draw-bar cork drags over synthetic drags. I agree but just remember to back off the the drag when storing the TFO reels.
