Trolling reel/rod recommendations

[Troutster]

Thanks for the suggestions. I went to Cabela’s, Sportsman’s Warehouse, and Anglers Den to find an Okuma Coldwater Low Profile LC reel. I found it in a right hand retrieve. It looked really nice and was super smooth, but no one had the left hand retrieve. Also looked st some Kastking reels but they don’t make a line counter reel. I snagged a Shimano Tekota LC. I liked the Abu Garcia Veritas Casting Rod - 7ft, Medium Heavy Power, Fast Action, 1pc. Found it at Sportsman’s, probably pick one up for $119. It’s interesting looking at rods from $39 to over $400. The main difference I could feel is weight. The overall weight and especially swing weight. The Kokanee rods are CRAZY soft. Big noodles. I’m going to wait on the trolling stuff. I need to still pay for the boat end of Aug when it comes in.
