So I just bought 2 of these as my first liner counter reels, never done any hardcore trolling, but wanted to be able to repeat what works, and have a bit of control of the running depth aso.

For now one is on:
2 piece 9 foot TI XXH that i will use for large baits. (my old pounder rod),
looking to someday get a 2 piece 9 foot XH for smaller baits.
Need them to store at minimum space as my boat don't have a specific rod locker

Are there any thing i have to look out for with these reels, with the line counter or what not?

Tight Lines

Mine have worked great. If you do decide to move the power handle to the outer most hole for more cranking power, there is a spring behind the handle. Be aware of that. The clicker is not as loud as most but the reel works great.

Wish i could just get the TDR's have read a bunch of god stuff about them, but im located at the wrong site of the big pond, and the rod selection is quite limited, iv'e used a couple of old sea cod jigging rods in the past for the small amount of trolling that i have done and they worked ok as well.

Thanks for the info Todd, I moved the handle already, and read some old post where you mentioned it i believe.
