Thanks to PnJ for recommending it last year, this reel is now my go-to for most freshwater trolling.  Tempting to buy a second at this price  :smt005  They have the righty as well but with a smaller discount.

Thanks Al, glad you’re happy with it. I was just looking for a third one. I’m right handed but prefer to hold the rod in my right and reel with the left.

Ooo, that's tempting.  I lost a nice low profile baitcaster a while ago, and haven't yet replaced it...

I am also right handed, but both my parents are lefties, so I do a lot of random things lefty.  Funny how that works.

Always though it was kinda lame that more combos aren't offered in lefty format. Would be nice to be able to save a little and get a matched setup with a combo.

The Okuma Kokanee Rods are my favorite so far for trolling on the DR, great and very light weight combos.  The extra features of this DLC are really quite awesome.  It has a backlight feature that lights up if drag pulls or if you start reeling.  The line counter never seems to fog up, unlike all my other ones.  The beep that warns you that your close, and the other that warns that your at the 0 mark are really nice to have especially when I was fishing in the dark by headlamp.  The clicker is in a weird spot, but I like it now.
