I'm with Gord on the Okuma's, the drag is a bit touchy, so to over ride this, I use 100# line, gives a bit of room for error.

Was fishing the French a few weeks back, heck I had a tough time just getting the line out, the guides were all frozen. -16C is crap to fish in.

Early season, I'm seldom back more than 35', which is easily set visually as it's pretty much the end of the prop wash.

Late fall, when the fish are way down, counting back 120 or more is very critical.

That set up won't cut it for me.

Any how,,,, I'm going musky fishing tomorrow,,,,,, ha, ha,,,,,,, and Monday!
