Great Leadcore reel

Posted by ADAM TURNER on November 28, 2022

The Okuma 453DS is perfect for 10 colors of lead core. I spool the reel with 375 Feet of 25lb Mono than ten colors of lead core. Super smooth feel to the reel.

Paired with a Shimano talora troll rod and spooled with braid and lead core. Love the star drag. It clicks! Bait clicker is great. Fully strong enough to hold the line in a free spool while trolling. Feels a little stronger than a kastking rover / rekon. I have each of those for trolling lead core. Line counter works 100% of the time. Anyone with a different story, call okuma and replace it. Literally clockwork on that. It feels big. Its on a big rod but still it has presence. Very quality for the money. I wanted a Calcutta / Shimano but settled on this and I am not disappointed! Would suggest this reel to anyone trying to troll leadcore or a deep water downrigger setup. I love my kastking rovers, I have several for different troll methods. Its clear thats $55 when compared to a reel like this. Even the kastking rekon, the highest quality round reel, clear difference in feel. Ill buy another okuma any day.

Great reel for the price and I exclusively run the cold water reels on my boat. The high speed reels are great for wire divers, copper and lead core set ups. I do recommend a drag upgrade ($10-$15 per reel) if you plan to pull magum divers with wire or braid. The factory drags work fine with 5-7 colors of core, standard divers and up to about 250' of copper or wire.
