I need another inshore spinning reel & this Okuma looks right for the money. http://tackledirect.com/okuma-inspira-s ... reels.html
I do love my Shimanno Symetere & would try the Shimanno Spheros but the smallest model is not light enough.
Any thoughts?

Take a look at the Quantum Kinetic. They retail for $70, but run $40-$50 brand new on Ebay. I have four of them and have never had a problem with any of them other than the line roller ball bearing getting gummed up. Quick clean and reoiling and they are back in action good as new. I do this every few months. Freshwater rinse is the only thing I do after every trip.

I have an Okuma Epixor, spinning not bait feeder, that I have been using for a couple of years with great sucess. Very smooth reel. Cabelas has them for $40-50. The Inspira looks sweat though, definitely a contender for a xmas present

If you feel like a treasure hunt I dropped one near the upper bridge in the Wakulla, water was so muddy I couldnt find it. The big loss was the St Croix Avid rod

It did very well while I had it, probably had 10 or so saltwater trips on it, many redfish, and no issues.

Never tried the Inspira, but I have an Okuma Corrida, an Acuador and an Interceptor, a European model I tried off eBay. All are lower-end models but still sturdy and smooth after several years.

I have an inspira IA30. Very smooth, quality drag. Overall, very pleased with it. I have had a Epixor for 2 seasons without a hitch. Good reels for the money IMHO.

All good reports. Thanks all!
