Okuma Magda 30 DX

[Avid Angler]

So I Got a couple of these reels laying around. I wanna use them up on lake Ontario this year. Would they make a good leadcore rig? Maybe have one reel a 3 color core and the other a 5 color core? Or a 5 and 7 color core? Or would they be better as downrigger rods? I have them on the Okuma classic pro GLX rods. 8'6". And what's everyone like for backing? I've always used power pro or something close. Just was curious on everyone's thoughts. Thanks again, Codie

I had a 45 with 10 colour on it and it worked just fine. I think 5 colour would fit better on your 30. Powe pro 50# backing is how I have my cores and coppers setup.

Same here. I have a couple 3 colors on the 30's and full core on a 45. Make up a 5 color on one reel backwards and load it on the other reel. Count the backing as it goes onto the second reel and duplicate on to the next reel. Power pro will get you more backing due to small diameter.
