Default Looking for a LH linecounter?

Okuma has finally made what I've been looking for and came out with a reasonablly priced linecounter in LH. However......I called the Fishin Hole to order one and they want to tack on another $25 to special order this reel. If any of you fellow fisherman/ladies are looking for a new linecounter for the summer contact the Fishin Hole and with enough interest they will consider stocking the product. It comes in LH and RH and a few different sizes. I am looking at the CW-203DLX

I am shocked it took this long for someone to finally bring a LH LC onto the market.. Price is right to boot. Go to Wholesale they'll stock them and won't charge $25 extra?

That seems odd to me.

I purchased both my Okuma LH line counters from the fishin' hole right off the shelf.......

Those are great reels I use those for my left handed clients , when trolling or sturgeon fishing . The fishing hole carries them regularly . Go to the south side shop or even the new one and they should have them . Not sure how it can be a specialty item when they advertise them in there catalog and website . I got stuck with that story to then talked to the manager and they charged me the regular price . I was looking for 4 inch extension on the mustang inflatable life jackets .

Your second option Order directly from Okuma .

Magda Pro - around $70 I think. They are not rated cold weather but I'm not sure what the application for a "cold weather" reel is .... what are you trying to do (or avoid)?

Ok guys let me clear some things up. I know LH linecounters are available. I am talking about the NEW okuma Cold Water Series....they just came out late 2012.....NOT the Magda Pro....NOT the Convector....NOT the Catalina(doesnt come in LH anyways).

I have called every store in Edmonton I can think of that carries the Okuma line and no one has them.

So once again.... if you simply clink on the link I posted it will take youu to the reel I am talking about. https://www.okumafishing.com/product...ers/cold-water

If you are looking to get a new linecounter for the summer 2013 fishing season and want a quality reel at an affordable price (site says $119.99)....Call the Fishin Hole West location and talk to Brian, with enough interest he will bring them......That is all
