Quick take
A conventional reel with a mechanical line counter that displays fishing depth, built for deep trolling.
This Okuma Coldwater is a low-profile line counter reel built for trolling, with a mechanical counter that reads out in feet so you can repeat the depth that produced a bite. The frame and handle side plate are die-cast aluminum, and the multi-disc drag tops out at 25 pounds. This version has a 5.4:1 gear ratio and left-hand retrieve, and the counter window is made to resist fogging.
