I use two of the Cabelas line counter reels and have had nothing but excellent things to say about them. The line counter work very well and I use super-braided line on one and co-polymer on the other. They are as accurate as my downrigger counter. When it says I let the ball down 60 feet, my reels also read 60 feet. Someone else commented about the drag. Well I've caught lots of big lakers and cutthroat on these two reels and the drag is smooth and Iike the big star so I can make adjustments easily when letting down my cannonball or while fighting a fish. I've used the reels in some really crappy weather too. Sub zero and the drag and counters worked perfectly. The only thing I've had happen is the counter reset button stuck once, but it was due to frozen water on it, not the reel. By the way, both of my reels are full of line. I will let out over 200' in some cases and never had a problem.
