Quick take
A conventional trolling reel with mechanical line counter and anti-fogging technology for precise depth control.
The Okuma Convector CV-20D is a right-hand trolling reel with a mechanical line counter that reads in feet, so you can repeat the same depth pass after pass. A 5.1:1 gear ratio picks up about 23 inches of line per turn, and the drag tops out at 18 pounds. It suits walleye and trout trollers running braid or mono behind a boat.
Best for

Strengths
- Mechanical line counter measures in feet for precise depth positioning
- CVT clear view technology prevents counter fogging in cold
- 3 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing provide smooth operation
