well I should be ready to pull cranks now. I bought 4 rods from grizzly jigs at the boat show. (they had a good deal on them) 2 PST163 and 2 PST82 I aready have 2 PST122 so I got my rods. I just ordered 6 okuma magda pro 15dx line counting reels. So I got the reels covered. I made a set of rails to mount my driftmaster rod holders on (see pics) and I got about 20 bandits 200 and 300's (I need a few more)

And that cost how much???
Is it too late to subsitute the 20 DX's for the 15 DX's? You would like them better. Only $2.00 more each.
Oops! Dave might have to sleep in the boat, lmaoRoflQuote:

Why do you say that? I like the duel handle on the 15 (like a baitcaster) and the smaller size. But I'm only going by a pic. Never actually saw one in person.Quote:

That's where I got them and I see the 20's are the same price as the15's . Do I really need the larger reel?Quote:

Well its too late now....lol.... Oh well
Anyhow what do you think about those homemade T5000 rod holders? I took your advice Stan and made the uprights shorter.
I got both sizes, and was told the only difference was the line capacity. The 20 holds more line. Mine are about the same size other than that, and they both work decent. I'm wanting the digital Diawa's!!!!'

Whoops, mine are the Strada Masters. Is there a difference, and if so what is it? Also what IS the difference between the Magda Pro 15 and 20 exactly?

Those should work like a charm.Quote:
