Fishing: Depthmaster II Linecounter/Whuppin' Stick Trolling Combos Review

Pair a DepthMaster II Reel with a Whuppin' Stick Trolling Rod for a great combo.When it comes to dependability and affordability, no other linecounter reel has as much to offer. Its graphite frame and sideplates make it both sturdy and lightweight. Plus, it boasts a graphite spool for smooth performance and additional weight reduction. The multidisc Rulidium drag, the same drag used in our DepthMaster Gold Series, gives you the power to slow hard-fighting fish. The accurate linecounter measures in feet, and ensures you can consistently keep your lures at the precise depth where the fish are suspended. Audible spool click lets you know when line is being taken off the spool. Double-paddled walleye handle included with sizes 20 and 30. Self-lubricating gear system employs a brass bushing, which releases oil as friction heat increases, to keep the main gear and drive shaft running smoothly. Soft-touch knob power handle. Bait clicker.Big-water trolling can be tough on tackle. So it only made sense to build a series of trolliing rods using the world's toughest blanks - Cabela's Whuppin' Sticks.

From walleye to salmon, whatever you're trolling for, there's a rod in this all-new line built to match any application. The 86HR is equipped with roller guides.
