Line counter reels

[pimplepounder]

Pimple Pounder, I have a few Magda pros in my mix as well... I started with the Magda pros and then started slowly switching to Convectors. They are both good reels. However, when you have been reeling in on Convectors all day, and then grab the rod with that Magda Pro it is night and day difference and you notice right away. I finally bought enough Convectors to get all 18 rods switched over and use the Magda Pros as backup. I like both of them.

Matt,
You are right about the Convector's being better. It sounds like you have a lot of rods to keep filled. I do not troll very much when by myself or with a couple of my die hard fishing buddies, but when I take some out who do not fish to much or just want to get some fish to eat you can't beat it. I know it takes a lot of skill to be good at trolling and know how it all works together. I use a lot nicer reels for baitcasting and spinning. That would get pretty pricey filling 18 rods with $300.00 reels.

It took me 3 years to switch all the reels, and I must admit that the last 4 I bought used from a charter captain that was switching out Convectors for Okuma Coldwaters. I keep that many rods so when I tangle one side of the boat I can bring the line in the boat, cut it off, put those rods in the rocket launchers, and put the new ones out... lol. I can't troll 18 rods... well, I "can" but I might as well just go buy a 1,500yd spool of PowerPro 30 and throw it away!

Oh i didnt figure you trolled that many. What you do makes perfect sence. Get a mess sometimes its much easier to just pull them in and send out another. You can fix it later.
