Northwest Fishing Reports

I am wanting to purchase a levelwind reel... I have done some research and narrow it down to two reels.

Diawa Accudepth Line Counter Plus Reel

or

Shimano Tekota Line Counter Reel


There is an obvious cost difference but both have good reviews... What does everyone think?

Sellis 414,

There is about a hundred dollar differance between those two reels.... but what I was going to mention is that another forum member "Firetiger" had posted a whole bunch of reels he had for sale a couple months back. I went to him and did buy a reel. (absolutely beautiful real btw) Anyway, he had two of the Diawa Accudepth reels that you talking about.

Go back in the classifieds forum... go back about 2 months ago. You will see his list. His prices were more than fair also.

Hi Sellis,
I have several Accudepth's and love them. They are great on price, and have been very reliable. I fish Lk Wa, Roosevelt, Rufus, Banks with them and they fish well. I know several guides who use them on your side of the hump too.

Good news Guys! Thanks for the info. Quad... I am gonna buy the two Firetiger had... Nice catch on the find. I looked at that post when he posted it and forgot all about it! The best part is he is selling me both for less than the price of one so I lucked out there!
