I bought one of those reels last week also.  

I went full in and bought 4 Okuma Coldwater reels and mated them with Shimano TDR trolling rods.  I've used them once and really enjoyed them.

YouTube "Calibrating Line Counter reels"....it does help to be more accurate.

RPS, I don't disagree about the line counters costing more. But for me, I fish alone most of the time and I need the line counter as I may have 4 rods dispensing line at the same time while I move around the boat watching each reel and tending to the trolling motor too. It would take forever to watch each reel and monitor the color changes. I do use the metered braid on my final 5th rod if used. Just sayin'. 

Good point! I do not fish more than two rods at a time.  Remembering which rod is on which color is no problem for me. Four or five rods would be beyond me.

I'll do 8 rods if I'm not getting bit.

When I get two rods out, I get a fish on both at the same time and tangle them up, I don't know how you get a fish in past 7 other lines.

These are good looking combos.  I like the Orange - Being from Oklahoma and all

I thought Oklahoma was a crimson and cream state.

Not if you are an Aggie.

Speaking of which, does anyone know why OSU put down artificial turf?

So the Homecoming Queen wouldn't graze.
