Line counter reels

[Madd Matt]

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.
