yes, i've got an integrity 5/6 by okuma. seems to work ok, but i'd like to
point out a couple of things:
after 5 months' time, the rim is scratched to silver now. they're not
machined.
they are relatively heavy. 7 oz for the 5/6, the smallest in that line.
the drag seems to be good, but a bit touchy. the large star-shaped wheel on
the back controls the drag and if i have it just "right," moving it just a
tad results in a large change in drag. once set, it's consistent, but i
haven't had to play any fish from the reel since i bought it.
They are a decent reel for the price, but your assessment matches mine.
They're heavy and the metal is soft. The drag is OK but changing it is
difficult to do well. I'd buy something else if I had it to do over.
