I have been using Okuma Magda Pro 20s with Ugly Sticks 6 for big boards and 4 on downriggers. Most are 6 years old, and 2 are going in for repair. I am
either fortunate and I just feel no need to change either rod of reels. I also at times put out 2 OLD 5 ft. steel rods with dipsys or bottom bouncers and garage sale reels and always good for laughs when it's fish on.
