Where have y'all found the line counter reels at the best price and have had the best customer service?
What size rods do y'all recommend for pulling off the back?
Is the 30# braid worth the cost compared to reg hi vis?
Thanks in advance for your replies
Wont spool with nothing but braid from now on, lost 40 bucks worth of cranks in one afternoon to slimers last summer.:banghead
Grizzly Jig. Reels poles and cranks all in one place. I use 12' pst all around. Got a buddy that uses 7' ugly sticks out the back. 15lb mono envy green made by ANDE this will be 3rd season on it haven't lost a crank yet.
Its all right here http://www.crappie.com/crappie/showt...ing-Cranks-101
I use 30# braid on all my linecounter reel. I use Wally Marshall Troll Tech rods by Lew's and Daiwa AccDepth ADICV15 Digital line counter reels.
Northwoods wholesale outlet for the line counter reel cant beat there price
Wayne, pm me if you run across a deal on those reals please, I love em!!Quote:

Off the back rod size doesn't matter much. I like the walleye crankbait trolling rods (Diawa Wilderness, Shimano TDR, Cabelas, BPS etc). Just be sure to get something that is moderate (not quite parabolic) in action. Okuma from Northwoods are about the best deal for linecounters. I only use mono but only have to deal with catfish and stripers, not toothy critters.
I've used the Daiwas and BnM's while fishing with John Harrison, they were REALLY nice! Just bought 6 Okumas for $199 on ebay, won't get to try them out until I get home this summer. Planning on mounting them on different lengths of BnM's!
I'm going to try low-profile baitcasters with line-counter braid. Color change every 10'.
That will work too. Unless your colored blind.Quote:
