After hearing from all of you I finally made my purchase! I bought 6 Okuma Convector 30 line counters and had them spooled with a mono backing and 30 lb Power Pro green.....I hope that was the right color choice

My main goal was to get a decent reel and keep everything consistant, no more guessing if they were all at the same depth because of reel and line differences. I will check each reel for 100 ft and see that they all read the same. I think the consistancy should help improve our catch rates.....I hope.

Thank you to all who posted....I think I used a little bit of what everyone had to offer.I am just a weekend fisherman and drive 2 1/2 hours up each trip so trust me, your information is very much appreciated! Absolutely top notch bunch of guys here!
