Suggested line counter reel

[dunn782]

Anybody use left hand retrieve counter reels? I have some Okumas but I was thinking about picking up a couple more, these aren't the highest quality.

I have 26 SG27LC's some are over 30 years old and they have had the living **** fished out of them. The only problem I ever had with them was the early ones would have the counter sight window fall off. Other than that, I have NEVER had one apart. Same with the 47 LC's, SG 47 LC's, 27H, 47H... Bullet proof. That's why the price on used ones is so high. I have a bunch of Okuma Convectors I use for copper and lead core. They're ok for the price, but I've had a couple go south on me. Shimano reels are top notch also but I don't think they are any better than the Daiwa reels, just cost more. Words of wisdom...spend your money on quality reels.

I have about 25 Daiwas 17-47. Some are 25 yrs young. I have 2 Tecotas. If I had to start over I would look into the daiwa Lexas if I was only going to walleye fish. I dont believe they have enough line capacity for steelhead.

I have left hand retrieve. They work fine. They are available for most of the line counter reels - Shimano, Daiwai and Okuma all have them.
