Thanks for the insight.

Got it. Thanks for the insight. Always considered the carbon upgrades to be cheap insurance.

Thanks for the response. I like my Convectors and would be happy to buy another pair. Are the drag upgrades no longer needed for Convectors?

Looking to add another pair of wire divers this year. Was doing some research on the Coldwaters and found some threads on sticking drag issues. I primarily run Convectors and have upgraded the drags. Saw a few older threads (2021-ish) that said Okuma was supposed to upgrade/address the drag problem. Anybody know if Okuma has followed through? Any thoughts on Coldwaters as diver reels? Would I likely be just as satisfied with upgraded Convectors? I am on a somewhat limited budget, so the better half won't appreciate any suggestions to spend more money. 😉

Thanks. That's what I am thinking of doing. All wire? Other than fleas or cost, is there a reason to run braid instead?

Thinking of adding two more dipsy rods to the spread. Current rods are 9'6"/MH/wire. Have read where one would want some tip separation. Is this overblown or should I be looking for shorter/longer rods? If shorter, what's the shortest you would go?

I do the same. Didn't think it mattered much. Thanks for the validation.

After all of the CU/LC is out, how much backing do you let out before you attach the board? Had someone ask and I just realized that I really don't pay much attention to it. Does it matter?

I will take them. DM sent.

Would you consider selling the yellow/red spotted ones separately? Let me know either way.

I use nine foot MH rods for my wire dipsy rods. Don't see why you could not use those M rods for wire, LC or mono high lines.

+1 Bought two spools last spring. Respooled one reel and have the second in the box for a spare. Good stuff and at a fair price. https://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishing-hunting/topic/98982-2 brand new-spools-of-dipsy-wire-line/
