bagz Posted 9/25/2005 8:16 AM (#36137) Subject: lead core reels Member Posts: 185 Location: Port Washington, wisconsin Looking for some suggestions on what type of reel to purchase for leadcore presentation for walleye. Most value for the buck. Thanks guys.

The Diawa LC47 will fit about 9 colors but is a bit more expensive. I prefer the Diawa LC47 but I have the Gold Cups and they have given me no problems.

Get the lead out.

Gary Parsons Posted 9/26/2005 9:42 AM (#36152 - in reply to #36146) Subject: RE: lead core reels I'd have to vote for the Bass Pro LC 4000 series or the Daiwa 47LC as I use the line counter part of the reel all of the time for precision contour cranking. Walteye Posted 9/26/2005 10:23 AM (#36154 - in reply to #36137) Subject: RE: lead core reels For 10 color-I have Daiwa SG57 spooled with 400' backing/10 colors/30' 20# Flouro leader. If I am looking to troll the bottom at Hudson Canyon, I can add probably another 3-4 colors!!!
