Quick take
A compact baitcasting reel with a digital line counter for trolling and downrigging with accurate depth control.
This left-hand low profile baitcaster pairs a lighted digital line counter with a 6.4:1 gear ratio that pulls in about 26 inches of line per crank. Its aluminum spool keeps the reel to roughly 8.6 oz, and a multi-disc star drag tops out at 20 pounds of pressure. Anglers who troll, downrig or need to repeat a depth will like being able to read out how much line is deployed.
