Pros & Cons
Pros
Okuma cv30dlx reel is strong, easy to use, and great drag. The clicker is very nice and plenty loud. I have four of these reels and they all work great. I also have the magda and this was worth the extra money.
Lb is probably overkill but it is more accurate for the line counter.
Cons
Drag clicker was broke when product was supposed to be brand new. Buyer beware. Should provide better warranty service.
Highlights
Quality
This reel has a quality line counter
So far i am very happy with it seems well built with nice smooth ratcheting drags
Price
I bought this because the price was right it looks like it was a return item that was never used
These are great reels the price makes them even better
Packaging/appearance
No thumb which gives just enough tension so you dont rats nest the reel while you spool down the downrigger
Competitiveness
I like it better than my shimano 500 tekota which is double the price
Much better than the bigger ones
Tried a cabelas brand but returned it and went for the okuma
