I bought a couple Okuma Magda Pro 20DX line counters. They have worked great with a couple 7ft ugly sticks for planer board rods, and some 8ft 6in okuma dipsy rods.

I was just wondering when it comes to line counters what do most of you use?

I use primarily daiwa Sealines and upgrade the drag disks to carbon fiber drag disks.

 

I do use Okuma Convector line counters on some of my salmon rods.  The magnas are just too cheaply built to hold up for salmon.  Probably just fine for walleye, pike, etc.

I’ve used trolling combos for the last couple years. But a few weeks ago I finally got the money to buy my own. I went with the okuma classic pro trolling rod and paired with a okuma magda pro 30. It was alright but a few days later I ended up returning the Magda and getting a daiwa acudepth plus 47 LCB.WAY better real! I think In the end I ended up paying like $5 more for the accudepth as it was on sale at the time. I’d by another accudepth in a haeartbeat. Awesome real for the price hands down.

I have a Daiwa SG27-LC that has nearly 20 years on it. Still works perfect and outlasted other reels.

I have 18 Daiwa accudepths and 8 sealines,,,, Swapped out all the drags to carbon fiber and have no reason to upgrade to Shimanos ,,,YET!!!!

 

If I had any magda's they would be used for structure on the bottom of the lake

I have a Jason Mitchel walleye trolling rod and paired it with an Okuma cold water CW-354DLX.  Very slick combo!!  I will be looking for another set up similar to this!!

      I’m finding having the plow is becoming pretty important for mobility with the big house again this year.  Been nice the past couple to not have to worry about it.

      Well, this one is only about a 1/4 the size of the one down in the cities.  And if you don't have $12,000 to $120,000 to buy a ATV, boat or camper. For the $10 to get in and $3.50 to park.  It can be fun to have a hotdog, snag some freebie pens, cozies and candy and watch the kids fish!   😉

      so what kind of stuff do they have at that sportsman show?????   i keep thinkin one day i should go to it....but never do. went once years back.

      I'll have to say I was getting a little bummed out watching the kids fish the pond at the show yesterday. One little kid with his dad hooked 3 fish and never got a one in! One teen girl had probably the biggest in the tank on and it broke her off!  With the smooth barbless hooks and the Walmart 1lb line. It's freeking worst then a carnival game on the midway!  Great way to get kids involved! 😒

      Back in the 70s when a bunch of us early teenagers would go to the SportShow, we figured out the flies never got down to the trout with all the moving water. A little split shot solved that problem. 😆

      Nice looking pictures. Makes me want to jump on the snowmobile.

      Friday was a beautiful day on Vermilion.  The fresh snow and high winds made pretty drifts on the lake, as long as you weren't trying to travel off plowed roads.  Watched a large 4x4 truck travel off road and it hit some very large drifts, but didn't get stuck.  Not too many houses were left but many new ones were being pulled out onto the lake for the weekend.  Was a nice view at dark seeing all the lights on the lake.   Fishing was average.  I had to shovel snow off of our mobile home roof so I didn't get out until 10am.  Was a decent bite at 11am, and then from 330-415pm, but other than that it was very quiet for me.  Vermilion Fuel and Food finally had shiners so I tried those and caught most of my fish on them.   Good luck fishing, be very courteous if you use plowed roads, and be careful if you travel off road.

      We went from no snow to enough quickly. I will have to go check out the lakes with updates on which ones have plowed roads around. Be safe and bring a shovel.

      Last Friday, it was still pretty busy for a week day.   I've gotten a few out of there over the years.

      A few years ago when my son and wife came over to watch the game!
