Message: <blockquote data-quote="gone_fishing" data-source="post: 302821" data-attributes="member: 708">I have four line counter combos. All have 10lb Fireline on them. Two are 8'6" rods that go 90 deg off the sides. Two are shorty 5' rods I run off the back corners at about a 45 deg angle. The rods are Cabelas (don't recall model but they are fiberglass).Two of the rods have Daiwa AccuDepth reels in the smallest size they make (17?). Quality seems so-so on these. One has developed a tick but that was my fault. Snagged a rock and tried to 'thumb' the spool and give the rod a good pull. Lure broke and after that the reel started to tick when free spooling. Drag still seems to work so I'm not too concerned about it. Think I paid around $50 each for these reels close to 10 years ago.The other two reels are Okuma Magda Pro (model MA-15DXT-T). I think I paid around $50 for these also. They are mostly plastic like the Daiwa but the build quality is much better. Haven't had these as long (maybe 5-6 years) but they are holding up well. All four line counter reels have the smaller dual paddle vs the larger single paddle. I prefer this setup. Little less bulky.From research I have done, I see Okuma Coldwater series seem to be recommend frequently. They are $100 plus probably built a little better.For 10lb Fireline, the smaller size reel is more the enough. I think I have an enter 125 yard spool on plus a fair amount of mono backer to fill the spool up. For leadcore you may need to go up a size since it's larger in diameter. I don't run leadcore so maybe someone who does can chime in with what size linecounter reel they run.</blockquote>
