  LINE COUNTER TROLLING REEL New from KastKing is the ReKon Line Counter Trolling Reel. Available in 3 sizes, ReKon conventional reels will be perfect for Salmon, Steelhead, Trout, Kokanee, Walleye, Lake Trout, saltwater species, and so much more. Both feature an exceptional, accurate mechanical line counter so that you can consistently keep your bait in the exact zone that is producing fish over and over.
• 
  HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPONENTS The KastKing ReKon baitcasting reels are designed for tough trolling conditions and uses the best components. For smooth and trouble-free operation KastKing uses 3 double shielded, stainless-steel ball bearings in high stress points plus the Instant anti-reverse bearing. KastKing ReKon main gears and worm shafts are made of precision machined brass. Its pinion gear and line guide shaft are high quality stainless-steel.
• 
  AMAZING DRAG POWER & FEATURES The ReKon Line Counter round casting reels use a smooth, carbon disc drag that delivers 30 lbs of fish stopping power (25lb for size 10). Both size reels have a line clicker function that makes releasing planer boards simple and easy. You can use that feature as a strike detection system while trolling. Gear ratio is 5.1:1 on the size 10, 5.3:1 on the size 20 and 4.5:1 on the size 30.
• 
  GREAT LINE CAPACITY KastKing kept these fishing reels as compact as possible while still providing tons of line capacity to anglers using leadcore, heavy braid, or strong monofilament fishing line. The size 10, size 20 and size 30 ReKon cast reel will hold over 250 yards of 20 lb. mono or about 10 colors of Micro Leadcore line and over 320 yards of 25 lb. mono or equivalent braided line respectively.
• 
  TWO HANDLE OPTIONS KastKing designed the handles to be different on the two models for a reason. The size 10 ReKon is mostly for Kokanee, Walleye and Trout so KastKing included a comfortable, double paddle handle with EVA grips. The larger size 20 and 30 reel has a single Power Handle with a comfortable round knob that gives more leverage for larger fish and longer retrieves for Salmon, Steelhead, Lake Trout, Striped Bass, or other uses such as a catfish reel that require more fishing line.

  DURABLE: The entire TRA 30R line counter reel is based upon a powerful star drag foundation, supported by heavy duty brass gears and a full Carbonite drag system. With the ability to output 20 lbs. of drag, this particular reel model is incredibly powerful. As an additional benefit, the Aluminum ratcheting drag star enables trolling fishermen to set precise drag settings.
• 
  EASY OPERATION: One of the absolute best things about this trolling reel is the fact that it fits so comfortably in your hand, which is great for anglers who plan on staying out on the water for a long time. There is also a very smooth drag, which is obviously one of the more important things to consider when shopping for a fishing reel of any kind. The anti-reverse roller bearings work very well, and the overall build is exceptionally solid. If you want a durable reel, this is the one for you.
• 
  FASTER SET-UP: Each time you check your lure, or better yet, reel in a fish, you'll want to get your line back into the strike zone as quick as possible. If the fish struck at 100' of line out behind the boat, just flip the reel into free-spool and let line spool out until the line counter hits 100'. This is much faster and more accurate than pulling line off the reel by hand and counting number of pulls.
