You are right. Either one is fine for a line counter reel. Compared to the Daiwa or the Shimano line counters, Okuma stand out in front of the pack. I haven't used a line counter in many years.
The modern way to get your count is to know how many feet per crank that your reel retreives. Count the turns and that gives you your count.
Since I mostly fish in the ocean, my fish finder has the depth reading on it and I go more by that. There are certain fish that suspend so all we do is drop to the bottom and count up 10 to 12 cranks depending on the depth we are at.
I like Salmon and Steelhead on the flyswater. That is just my style. Everyone has their style and method and I respect each persons approach. [cool]
