Line counter reels

[BobR]

Diawa used to make the Cabelas depthmasters. Had both and they are the same. Diawa Sealines are better

My two cents:
I have purchased several Pinnacle set-ups from Cabela's. Both spinning and bait caster, also fish eagle rods which I liked. From looking at them and comparing them I could tell they the reels were Diawa products with slight variations. Upon a year or so though I would find that Cabela's would no longer support parts for the reels, and I also found that they were slightly different than model numbers that Diawa offered so the parts were not quite the same either. It made it difficult to know if you were getting the part you needed for sure. It happened to me enough that I will not buy another Cabela's named reel ever again. They are priced pretty good from the start, but after the series warranty is gone my experience is you will be buying another one because of a spring, screw, bushing, etc. is "No longer available" If you look at Diawa brand equipment most of their items are supported in parts much longer.
