Line Counter Reels

**sherman51** · 05-06-2013, 07:09 PM

just remember there is alot of difference between the okuma convectors and the magdnas. the convector is a great reel and the magdna is on the low end but if its all the budjet will allow they do work good for the price. the convector 20 is the biggest reel your going to need for walleye fisging with mono or braid. alot less weight to handle than the bigger reels.

Thanks Wakina for the additional links. I guess I should be posting in a different forum, I just wanted to reach some experienced fishermen. Thanks everyone for your input. I'm still waiting to hear from my favorite Skipper to see what he runs.

Sorry very busy this time of.year.. I run converter 30 s. it is not really the reel that is important it is that the reel is calibrated. make sure.that every rod is 100 foot on the counter at a 100 foot.

the convector.(cv 30) is much better than the magna pro.. if you cant find a good.deal on them let me know. dont pay more than $60 for.them. give me a call if you want to talk about reels and calibration..

I have the Daiwa LCX27C reels. They have been great reels and I've had no problems with them. Bought them all used off of Ebay for between 45 to 60 bucks each. The counters are reliabloe and accurate if you fill the spools all the way up as is the case with any reel.

Check out the new Okuma Cold Water reels. They look sweet! Can be bought off Ebay new for $95 with free shipping.

Some of the smaller size reels obviously have enough line capacity but the big difference is the gear ratio. The 20 series is a 5.1:1 where the 30 series is a 4.0:1. I would recommend going with the larger reel to get the slower ratio for trolling.

I did not mean to insinuate that you should be posting in a different forum, and I only provided the links to information that pertained to your question because they contained info and answers concerning your question.

I would not be concerned about where you post a question as this site for the most part is a fishing community unto its own. Besides there have only been a few times that anyone has crabbed about where you post and what the content is. With those few times being by members that post very little if at all and just like to crab when things are not as they would like them to be.

I didn't take it that way at all Wakina, I just realized after reading the link that I probably should have posted in another forum.

I agree with you completely that people on this site are fishermen and don't seem to complain much about the small stuff....it's about helping other fishermen. I belong to a couple of other outdoor communities but this is my favorite and most used site. There are some great people here!

Skipper, I'll take you up on the offer and give you a call. That is a great deal for those reels!
