This reel can't be trusted - Okuma Trio 55 Spin Reel

Ordered this reel several weeks ago in anticipation for a week long fishing trip, but was extremely disappointed when the reel basically failed. I will be sending this reel back to either okuma, or optics planet. I've had descent results from okuma reels in the past, but this trio 55 is worthless. By the end of fishing trip day one I noticed the reel start to slip when reeling up any tension, by day three I could not even retrieve the weight of the lure because the reels gears were slipping so badly.
