[QUOTE="Migrator Man, post: 258899, member: 2369"] I ended up picking the Diawa Sealine LC3 47 size. One from the local shop for $80 and one from Amazon for $83. Spooled them up with Suffix leadcore (non 832) in 27# test. I tied and taped the leadcore to the spool and it filled the reel up with no backing needed and the line counter is dead on. Now I need to find a good quality small swivel to tie the end of the lead core to so I can attach the braid leader. Anyone recommend using a certain knot to tie the leadcore? Does the standard Palomar knot work? Do I need to strip out the lead first ? [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I know guys that crank exclusively and grew up trolling the Great Lakes. They say to avoid Okuma reels as they are junk and don’t last. Many Scheels LC reels are made by Okuma so beware of those. I have Cabelas depthmaster reels and they seem to be holding up well (made by diawa I believe). [/QUOTE]
