I agree with the above anglers, Okuma Fishing makes great gear for a good price. I use Coldwaters on my charter vessel and love them. I started with Convectors, which provided 10 years of flawless service. Either one will not fail you. Remember to put 10 or more feet of mono on the reels before you spool on the wire to prevent slipping. 

You can find the Okuma Cold Water reels in the various sizes from about $85-95 on Amazon or E-Bay.

I bought a couple new Convectors this spring and the drag went to pieces on one during the second trip.

I was told that the Convector and Cold Water have the same "guts" but can't say if that's true or not. The Magda is definitely a class below either of them.

The working inner components in a coldwater are not interchangeable with a convector, I like to tinker. 1 Tuna can fix almost anything. 2 you should be able to find coldwaters on walmarts website super cheep, BTW Okuma gives you the most bang for the buck in rods and reels, their Classic Pro rods are fantastic for next to nothing

Early for walleye and browns, 12 lb.

Mid May I get heavier, running 20 on my spoon rods and 30 on my attractor rods.

Bang for the buck I have found that Suffix Superior is worth at least double its sticker price. I have never broken it.

Hi Rob,

I do alot of jumper fishing. The reports out of Ludington and Manistee are blah. The fish are about 8 miles out of Ludington and 15 out of Manistee. Both ports have a butt load of baitfish out front where the fish are. A big west wind is going to be neccessary to bring these fish to shore.

Yeck has a 40th aniversery spoon coming out that will be avialable at the shows this winter. Super glow wartfrog. I cant wait:D

This years Trophy Trout Bonanza will be held in Ludington Michigan on April 9 2006. This event offers something for every stle of fisherman. Trolling surf fishing and river action are all extreamly effective styles of fishing this time of year. So good luck I hope to see and meet some of you at the tourney. If you would like a copy of the tourney rules please feel free to post an inquiry here and I will get it out to you.

I just wanted to thank the Great Lakes Fisherman for inviting me here and hope that my cold water knowledge that I share with all of you will help all of you learn more about great lakes stratagies. I have been fishing up and down lake Michigan professionally for 17 seasons with the last ten including tounament angling. If ever any one has a question on west side fishing please feel free to ask. I am sure there are plenty of great fishermen on this site that I can learn from also. The day you quit gathering knowledge is the day you die.
