Gonna start the transition to Diawa Line counter reels, I believe the model is 17

cant remember, I already have 2 and gonna get a few more, as they seem to reel much better for cranks than the Okuma's. I have found a place I can get this model 17 for 51.09 shipped, anyone know of a cheaper place to get them ??


thanks

ADP17LC - That's not a bad price for them shipped, my dealer price on them is pretty close to that, but the high volume online discount stores seem to be able to sell them cheaper than I can for sure. There good litte reels, there what I use for pulling cranks and I see a lot of the Mississippi guys using them when I'm down there. They have bushings on the spool shaft and handle crankshaft instead of bearings like the Okuma's do but that doesn't seem to affect their smoothness when letting line out or during retreive. I've got some I've used for several years and haven't had any problems with them yet.

Thanks Reel Man, I do like the way they retrieve better than the Okuma's for sure. I am goin to convert all my pullin rods to Diawa and use the Okuma's for spider rigging which they work just fine for that,

thanks again

I have converted fully to Diawa reels and they are all 17's but one and it is a 27 that I picked up used for 25.00. Russell is the man for reel service. We did a little swapping for jigs for a reel cap last year and I tell anyone that needs parts or service to try him.

Thanks Sat, coming down for Big Mama, let me know if y'all need anything.
