killerbe20 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I bought 4 of the old style catalina line counters last season. after less then two weeks i sent two in for repair and now i have one with a malfunctioning counter. anyone else experience problems with this particular reel?mike - i think in a previous post i read you said you have a bunch of them. any problems?

GLF Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I have a couple I need to send in for repair The issues I have are them not engauging properly after I am finished setting the rod. Sometimes when a fish hits, the reel "kind of" free spools, and makes an awful sound. When I set them now, I turn the spool a tiny bit, and make sure they are full engauged. I will send mine in at the end of the season.Okuma had this same issue with the Convectors a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLF Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Okuma should have named the new top of the line reel something besides Catalina. Now that I have a few seasons on my reels, I find it hard to cough up that much money for another reel that says Catalina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerbe20 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 i was floored when i saw the price of the new catalinas. i tried to get some of the old ones but they told me they didn't have anymore available to sell. The ones that are/were left were being saved for warranty replacements. They told me the same thing when i wanted to get more Titus T10L's.
