The Inspira ISX is a great value oriented spinning reel that works both in fresh and salt water making it a good choice for the light line surf fishing here in SoCal. It pairs up very well with the Okuma Rockaway SP rods making for a perfect surf combo without breaking the bank. These reels come with a larger main gear and brass pinion ensuring durability in saltwater and cranking power when its needed. They also utilize a one piece machined aluminum handle arm which handles water and sand intrusion better.

The drag varies from 11lbs for the smallest size up to 24lbs on the biggest two sizes and these drags are carbon fiber with stainless washers unlike other reels in this price range that utilize felt.
