Hey everyone. I was hoping there'd be a fishing forum but I guess there isn't.

I'm looking to buy a line counter and a trolling reel combo and I'm kind of a newb at this. I'm buying it for my brother who just recently got into trolling a lake for Kokanee.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm a little budget conscious, so would like to keep $$$ below $75 or so.

No, George, we don't.

i'd buy a shimano sahara fd for 65$
and i'd buy some random medium heavy rod to go with it..the rod should cost u 20-30$
so for 100$ u have a really good reel and a rod that won't snap on you
it's probably what i'd be concern if i were on a budget

Any of you guys use Fireline Crystal and have issues with it? Shit keeps fraying at the knot and breaking off or having to be retied way too often. Have tried plenty of knots with it.

@ CRASH
The Best and only knot I use to tie and of my lures/ hooks on. Double Palomar knot if it breaks on this, its total shit line.

i ended up buying the rapala shift 6'6 MH with a shimano citica 200g6
there was no 2 pieces vendetta and the st croix premier had the feeling of a '97 rod ..it was not balanced, pretty heavy etc
i wish i had a big truck so i could buy 1 piece rod
i can't go wrong with a shimano reel
