Quick take
A right-hand trolling reel with a mechanical line counter that shows how much line is deployed for consistent depth control.
The Okuma Magda Pro MA-45DXT is a right-hand line-counter reel built for trolling with monofilament. A mechanical counter shows how much line is out, so you can return to the same depth pass after pass. It pairs a 4.0:1 gear ratio with two stainless steel bearings and an 18 lb maximum drag, in an aluminum and graphite body weighing 1.34 pounds.
