Status: offline 		I have an Okuma Epixor EF20, great reel.  I use it all year, and even through February.  Works great in the cold.  Other reels I have had freeze up.  I would get the bigger size EF30 if I were buying again.  Mono wraps around the smaller spools tight and has a lot of memory = line mess.  I read an article from an Alaskan magazine the recommended this reel as well as the Shakespeare President for cold weather.
