I went from Shakespeare ATS and Okuma Magda 15 to Diawa Accudepth 17 line counters. That ended my line getting behind the spool problems but of the 14 I bought, 6 were sent back to Diawa within the 1 year warranty due to the anti-reverse failing. I use my gear hard but make my living with it. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement but since the last one was repaired, I’ve had zero issues with them.
I recently bought two Okuma Cold Water 350 low profile reels that are no longer being built. I love them but at $140+ each don’t think I’ll be searching for any more.
I also bought two Okuma Convector low profile reels and am very happy with them. At $95, they will be my choice as I have to replace reels in the future.
You mentioned it was getting time to start thinking about pulling cranks. I’ve been pulling them on KY Lake since the water temp was 52 degrees. These were from today.
16.5 inch white and 15” black. Happy client!
