Rod Reel combo for wire

[F/V Uncorked]

Im looking to set up a rod reel combo for wire line. Any Suggestions.

It all depends on what you want to spend.

If you stick with Daiwa you can get by fairly cheap with a great set-up. For rods you have 2 choices. Heartlands and the new wilderness rod. I think they run $30 and $20 respectively. AS for reels you have the sealines and the accudepth plus, and they run 100 and 40 bucks respectively. If you took the cheaper of each above you can get into a nice set up for well under 100 bucks. As for the wire there are many companies with Malin and Mason being the most popular and available. Make sure you get 1000' spool.

If you are going the AccuDepth reel route I would recommend the AccuDepth PLUS reels. Have heard they are better quality for a little more money. Soem guys have recommended staying away from the generic AccuDepth reels. Definitely a 47 or 57 series though!!!

Drag's on the original AccuDepths sucked in plain terms. Gear ratio is great tho for wire set-up's. I haven't used the Plus's yet. So i have no idea if they corrected it or not.

The drags on the Accudepth PLUS series are infinitely better than the original Accudepths. I have two of the ADP47LC's as wire reels on my boat and they're great. Definitely one of the best bargains in reels out there today in my opinion.

where is the best place to get them? on line or can you get them at gander

Gander had the ADP47LC's for $49.99. A month or so ago, I purchased one for that - they didn't have any on the shelf so I asked one of the staff about it and he took one off a combo unit they had, put it in an original box with all the paperwork and rang it up for $49.99. Good service from this person!

what is the difference in the 47 and 57 lc. and yankee said to get 1000 feet those reels arent rated to hold that much are they...

[L&M]

A 47 will hold 1000' with no problem, with no backing. 57's no problem at all. For the wire I liked the 57 expect the drag's on the older one's. A bit bigger reel but it made up for it in spool capacity as well as the larger handle and gear ratio.

Went from the daiwa accudepth to the shimano tekota 600lc last year. it is a more expensive reel but so far I am very impressed it. Well I guess for that type of money i better be impressed. I run all Daiwa's on the downriggers but have not had good luck with the wire reels, went through 2 accudedepths in 1 year.

Those must have been the original accudepths, which most people will agree were pretty lame. The Accudepth Plus is a whole different animal. I have my wires on the Daiwa SG47 LC's and they are great. Last year I retired my old GL47 LC's and replaced them with 4 ADP 47 LCs for my power pro and mono divers and they have been great reels, don't really notice a difference between them and the SG's as far as how well they function.

yeah these were not the accudepth plus reels. Due to replace my other wire reel I will have to try the Accudepth plus.

We have a couple choices if interested, Daiwa SG47LCA or the Tekota 600 LC, both are line counters and either can be rigged with 1000' of 30# AFW stainless 7 strand wire. 10' Eagle Claw Starfire diver rod we will also add a Twilly Tip. If you desire a different pound wire or color Camo or Brite can do that too.

1) Daiwa/10' Starfire wire combo

Price: 199.99

2) Tekota/10' Starfire wire combo

Price: 269.99

Hey Penn yan....you think the Tekota 500 LC would be a nice size dip reel for Keuka? Fingering you have been on it before...
