okuma reels breaking

[sherman51]

i wouldnt waste my money on the magda reels. i would invest in the convectors if i wanted okuma. another good reel for the price is the daiwa accudepth plus. but if you can swing the money i would go with the daiwa sealines. i have some of all three of these. and am getting great service from all three. i have the sealine sg17lca and the accudepth plus adp17lc and the convectors i have the cv20d reels. these are all small reels but they are big enough for what i use them for.

i use the daiwas for my lite bite slide divers. the sg17lca reels on one side of the boat and the adp17lc reels on the other side of the boat. one is black and one is silver, this way i dont get the wrong diver on the wrong side of the boat. then i got a good price on a set of the okuma cv20d reels so i bought them to use with my planer boards. but i havent ever got around to using my planer boards so i have just used them at home on my local lake. and have used a couple of them when i lost to much line off my diver reels from tangles. i keep a couple of the okumas spooled up and ready to go if i need them for my divers.

the accudepth plus reels seem to work just as good as the sealines for me, but the sealines are supposed to be a better longer lasting reel. only time will tell. you should be able to find the convectors and the accudepth plus reels for about the same price. then the sealines are alittle higher. but it is best if you can get all the same reels or atleast the same size.

you can sometimes get some good prices on all these reels by watching ebay. i bought all my reels off ebay. and got them for alot less than they would have costed someplace elce. but you have to really watch for good buys.

now if money is no problem i have heard the tekota reels are the ones you really want to get. but my budjet wouldnt allow me to buy them.
