diawa accudepth vs okuma convector

[bandrus1]

buying new board reels this spring

 

please weigh in on these two options or if I am missing one in that price range that is better

I have both. Accudepths for 12 yrs or more and love them. Just purchased the convectors and to tell you I really like them. Look well built and I believe they use the same drag system as the clarions.

I use accudepth 57s  for all my reel counter needs and I love them. One drawback is the location of the reset button on the counter. It happens to me very often that I accidently touch the reset button,but it me be because of the abnormal large size of my hands (I wear 4xl gloves)

that is a different price class of reel thats almost $40 a reel more than the convectors

[Adk1]

oh ok, I thought he was looking in the $100 range. You can always look at the Magdas as well but they would be the bottom if you ask me. I have 4 of them, one of the drags went out on one last year. I am simply going to replace each one as they **** the bed. Looking at the Cold Water or Catelina to replace the one that **** the bed.

If you are paying 109.00 for cold water series reels you are paying way to much. You can find them on line at other stores for 89.00 or cheaper.

[jason]
