Managing multiple tasks while trolling can quickly become challenging. A levelwind downrigger reel helps simplify the process by evenly guiding line so the focus stays on fighting the fish. A rigid one-piece graphite frame and a large drag surface add strength and consistency under load, while the choice of lever drag on the Charter Special or star drag on the TRN allows anglers to match the reel to their preferred setup. Both models are also suitable for light saltwater use, making them a practical option for streamlining downrigger and trolling applications.
