Bend it the way it needs to run. Running right bend left. It doesn’t take much

Hey folks.
I took a minute to make a depth chart and graph for Arkie 220s and 350s as well as Bandit 100s, 200s, and 300s. It's on google drive. Here's the link for it:

I'll also try and attach .pdfs of both.

Well I have to say after 2 long days of reading I have finally made it to the end. This is my first full pass have read parts of it before. As everyone says thanks to all that have contributed now for my question. The Shakespeare real seems to be the cheapest out there right now any reviews on how they preform.

Line will get behind the spool occasionally. Just take the side plate off, and lift the spool, and line will come out. Just be sure you have a small screwdriver with you.

I've been using the Shakespeare line counters since early spring. I can't complain about the reels at all for the price. I spooled them up with power pro 30 lb. braid on top of a filler, and have had no problem as of yet other than the clear plastic face came off one of the line counters. For the past few days we've been trolling for stripers and have landed close to a dozen 6 to 10 lb. Sea run stripers on them without a problem.
