The Okuma Convector Line Counter Reel is a rugged, precision line counter reel engineered for trolling in both freshwater and saltwater. Built with a corrosion-resistant frame, machined aluminum spool and durable gearing, the Convector delivers reliable line management and accurate depth tracking with its mechanical counter - ideal for salmon, lake trout and other deep-water targets.
Whether trolling copper, mono or heavy braid, the Convector's wide-mouth levelwind and XL gearing handle heavy lines and long retrieves. Okuma's self-lubricating gear system and stainless reinforcement points reduce maintenance in marine environments, while ergonomic handles and dual anti-reverse give solid hookset control. Available in multiple gear ratios and right- or left-hand retrieve, the Convector is suited to anglers who need repeatable, dependable performance on big-water trips.
Constructed with stainless steel reinforcement and a graphite frame, the Convector balances weight and marine-grade corrosion resistance. Routine rinsing after saltwater use and occasional lubrication of the geartrain will extend service life. The manufacturer stands behind replacement parts and service networks.
Specifications: sizes range from CV-15 to CV-55 with common gear ratios (4.0:1, 5.1:1, 6.2:1). Typical product weight for the CV-45D is about 22.9 oz (649 g); packaged weight is approximately 2 lb with a box roughly 7 x 6 x 5 inches. Okuma Convector reels are compatible with standard trolling rod holders and work well with chartplotter-based depth strategies and common accessories such as rod holders, downriggers and line counters.
