Replace Okuma magda with ?..

Looking to replace my existing magda 30'class with a better lc reel. Want to stay under $200. Any recommendations? Will be one of my rigger reels

Pretty much anything.

Replace it with another. For under 50 bucks you can afford to buy a new every year. Going onto 5 years now with mine.

i like the saltiest, they get great reviews. Just wish they didn't stick the line counter so far out on the side of the reel. What is the reason for this.?

[Missdemeanor]

I think it's because of the higher gear ratio... I was initally bothered by that, but the speed sure is nice.... Especially gaining slack when a rigger goes off deep, or when a fish hits a free slider....

These reels are highly rated from what I have read, may just give one a try. Anyone else have additional reviews on the saltiest?

Have run the 20,30,50 for 5 years now, love them!!!! For riggers you don't need linecounters, for wires, yes you will need the counters. Smoothest drag on the market, and one of the fastest retrieves, if not the fastest. Not sure what the okumas are now. No need to replace the drags out of the box. Only thing I have heard any complaints is the clicker is not loud, does not bother me, but I can hear it just fine... You can't go wrong with the saltist!!!!
