RE: Okuma RTX anyone?
It would look nice next to my Komodo...same colour scheme...

The smaller sizes would probably be OK...but for a 4000 size reel I would prefer to have something with a metal body construction...because you just never know when that next big stingray may come along...

It has Japanese oiled felt washer...which I've used for the last 10 years and it's good...but it does require cleaning at least once a year.

BTW, not sure lightweight is always best when it comes to bigger size reels. For example, my 4000 size reel goes on my 9' rod. when you put a 9oz reel on a 9' rod, the rod will be horribly tip heavy. I put a 13oz reel and it balances just in front of the reel seat...so it should still need an ounce or two there. A heavier reel on a balanced rod/reel setup will feel much lighter than a light reel on a tip heavy rod/reel setup during use.
