I used several line counter reels. I think the Diawa reels are overpriced. The Penns are excellent, but they don't have line counters which I particular like! I use the Cableas Depthmaster (not their "gold" model) and it has performed flawlessly for over 5 seasons though some really sub zero weather too. The drag is excellent to boot. I got mine for <$50.00 and its worth every penny.
