[font "Calibri"]The drag on the reel is not the greatest, save your money. The rod has a good back bone is plenty sensitive for most trolling needs. [/font]

[font "Calibri"]I personal like the Daiwa line counter reels a lot more. I purchase two with the Depthmaster rod, liked it so much I went back for two more.[/font]

I own two of the regular Cabela's Depthmaster DM30 combos. I have never had a problem with either of them and would buy another in a heartbeat. I've owned them for about 6 years now. I've caught a lot of lake trout, cutthroat and kokanee on them. The rod I have is the 8'6" downrigger rod in Medium. Its great for kokanee and has enough backbone for the larger lakers. I've compared my reel to some Diawa depthcounter reels and both are good, but the Diawa quite a bit more expensive. The drag on my Cabelas DM30 is excellent. I have NEVER lost a fish due to the drag not working properly or smoothly.
