Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Magda DX Linecounter Reels:

I'm a Registerd Maine Guide in central Maine.
I have clients in all ages, sizes, and abilities.
I.ve used this make and model reel for a couple of season when trolling for Landlocked Salmon. The reel preformes very well, stands up to abuse and is easy to operate for the novice as well as the seasoned fisherman (or fisherwoman).

Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Magda DX Linecounter Reels:

Best reel on the market for the price. You can pay a lot more and get a little better reel. But these work great, although the drag's sweet spot is somewhat sensitive. I'm a perfectionist so I'm being picky but as honest as I can. I own 12 of these reels and recommend them to anyone.

I use this reel for trolling for walleyes and salmon on Little Bay de Noc. Been using them for 4 years now and they still work great. You don't need to spend 100 bucks on a reel for it to work as good as these do.

The reel seemed OK, and functioned nicely while it was working. However the level wind mechanism wore out after about half a dozen uses, and now Okuma won't repair it.
