Line counter reels

Not sure about that, more like the consummate cheap @zz, but thanks for the compliment.

I swung through Cabelas this evening on the way home. There was one Cabela's Depthmaster reel in the bargain cave for $18.50 labeled as a return. It had a few scuffs on it, but otherwise worked fine. There were two Diawa line counters marked down $20 to about $87 and one Okuma counter, but I forgot what the price was. I didn't see any trolling rods in the cave, but the Depthmaster rods in the fishing dept were all between $42-$46.

I call it like I see it!

Believe it or not you gave some very good advice for those who don't get a chance to fish the big lake as often as other people do. The idea here is to get out on the water no matter where it may be and have fun, success is measured not in what you use to have fun with but being thankful for the opportunity to have that successful outdoor experience. I am sure the fish do not have any idea that they were caught with a $25.00 reel or a $175.00 reel. I also know who ever catches their limit could care less how much that reel actually cost, it is about the fun and experience.

I am trying to say that no one should ever be ashamed to use what ever fits their circumstances, be it budget, preference or needs. I know fishermen that have to have the best of everything just to keep up with the Kardashians. It does not make them better fishermen or more successful and they do not have any more fun than the next guy. What puts fish in the cooler is experience combined with some luck while having fun!

My name is Matt, and I still have a couple MagdaPros on $30 6.5" MH Ugly Stiks 1101.... Sigh. That feels better! Thanks Wakina!
