Hey Rees

Where you looking at them digi reel counters and what price you seeing?

Havent looked too hard at em lately, they are on Ebay and Cabelas has them as well, they are running 150 and up.

So what do you mean by digital? like a clock ? they need batteries?

Nevermind I just looked them up. I think your askin for a lot of grief.

Here ya go Wilbur. Yes they take a batt but they last well from what I am told, reels are smooth as glass and have 6 to 1 ratio, can cast a crank to 125 with ease and not bulky. Not for everyone I know but they are nice. You can shop it and find them cheaper than this one.

Yeah I looked on Cabelas website and I seen 164. You realize that's 5 Okumas.

Yep, no difference in buying a big ole Ranger or going to Bass Pro and getting a Tracker, to each their own man. I personally don't want any more Okumas, pain in the arse, much prefer the Diawa 17s. Right now I aint sure I will even go back to a linecounter, so far I far no complaint with the Depth Hunter line, its dead on and easy to use.

I know John.I guess Im a little on the Thrifty side. Even have a Tracker

I am too Wilbur, I sure aint riding in no new Ranger, may be why I haven't gotten of my wallet and got em yet. 95% of the time I cast the crank out, can get it back in the strike zone quicker and the way I set up iut easy to cast out, flip the bail and put it in the holder. I couldn't do that with the Okumas because if I loosened it up enuff to cast 100 feet the line was bad about getting behind the spool.

So what are you using now Rees ?
