OKUMAConvector Low Profile Line Counter Graphite Frame Trolling Reel

Great reel, works as intended. Line counter works great. To me a better River Reel than the Cold Water Series. Works better for casting than the cold water series, seems more versatile than the cold water for fresh water fishing. Quality for the money is outstanding!!!!

It is a very light mass weight reel!Took it out Walleye fishing and the only problem I had was I didn't adjust the casting drag and caused a small snarl.On a down note the reel is a little hard to get threaded and put on a reel after the line end is on the spool. Not a lot of room to get it properly fed out.Also when the click button is engaged, it is loud. That can be good or bad.The thumb spool clutch worked great in both modes.I bought the CV-354DLX and put 220 yards of 14lb Spiderwire EZ MONO. Use the suggested knots with it because it likes to pull through the knots. Did lots of fishing, not catching.At least we didn't lose any bottom walkers or lures.

Opened and inspected, checked all screws, all adjusters and switches. Everything worked good and smooth. The next morning I hit the water with the reels mounted on 2 new 8ft Ugly Stik Catfish poles. Put them through one of the toughest test, 4 hours of solid drift/drag trolling for catfish withe 3oz weight at 120 feet behind boat. I caught one 6 lb flathead and a couple Strippers. NOTE: WHEN YOU HAVE AUDIO CLICKER SWITCH ENGAGED, The reels doesn't free spool when thumb spool button is used in either mode- normal cast or drop and the second function of press hold release one handed line feed. I 1st thought one of the reels was bad but once I didn't hear the clicking from the other reel and it worked just fine, I knew that was the solution and the engage clicker alert button just exact that. Hope this information helps and yes I am very pleased. The line counter is awesome for 2 main functions- 1 is to know how much line is out when dragging to stagger lines from getting tangled and 2nd is to do suspect fishing either trolling or anchored above objects or depth fish are running. Note, to be accurate you need to do calibration, which involves the amount of line you have on spool for the last 100 ft. So, that's my experience and feedback on this reel. Yes, I would buy again depending if they last but time takes time for this result.

Great reel

I bought this for trolling for Kokanee. Great product.

Great trolling reel, direct drive line counter, on/off clicker, selectable thumb release with on off switch, just press thumb button to release line, lift thumb to stop line release, no need to crank handle to stop freewheeling spool. Or switch to off to go back to traditional spool function. Good drag for walleyes. Like the low profile reel feels great in hand. Good oversized reel handles. Easily change out extra spools. Reasonably priced from okuma USA, be aware two different spools same model. Must be result of mid production design change. Look the same one fits the other doesn't. Look for secondary step on spool spindle. They had to go and check bin contents to send correct spools.

Can’t go wrong for the price great for small fish and big fish.

The Okuma convector is by far one of my favorite bait casting reels second to its predecessor the cold water SS but overall the performance is awesome. The distance is great can hit well over 250 feet and still be satisfied with the results. It handles catfish very well and doesn’t give them an inch when it comes to how you set your drag, so overall, I am very satisfied with the performance and the quality, and I will always stick with the Okuma brand baitcasters.

It worked like a dream trolling and landing upto 3lbs rainbows. The line counter was great to close or to far from the boat caught nothing. 100ft and it was mayhem.

This was money well spent. Have used it for a while now. Very durable.

Was looking for a little bait casting reel that was low profile with a depth counter and this one ticks the boxes. I target salmon in tidal water which change their depth depending on where they are and time of year. I also wanted something that doesn't take a lot of space in carry on luggage with a back pack rod that breaks apart into 4 pieces. It's perfect.

Awesome reel for pulling crank baits more compact and lighter than normal line counters. I highly recommend.

Fantastic service,fast delivery.Great reel for downrigging at a great price
