Okuma Cold Water Linecounter Reel 2+1BB 5.1:1 12lb 290yd LH

The Okuma Cold Water Left-Hand Linecounter Reel with 2+1 ball bearings and 5.1:1 gear ratio is purpose-built for anglers targeting cold-water species where precision line control and corrosion resistance are non-negotiable. Designed for ice fishing, trolling, and deepwater applications, this reel combines a lightweight corrosion-resistant aluminum frame with proven Okuma engineering to deliver reliable performance in harsh marine environments where standard reels fail.

Built around a 12-pound line capacity with 290 yards of backing, this left-hand retrieve model features a multi-disc Carbonite drag system engineered for smooth, consistent pressure across the entire spool. The quick-set anti-reverse roller bearing and dual anti-reverse system eliminate backlash during the critical moment of hook set. Stainless steel ball bearings paired with self-lubricating gearing ensure long-term durability without constant maintenance. The Speed Lock pinion gear and machined aluminum 2-tone anodized spool demonstrate Okuma's attention to both function and structural integrity. Notable for anglers using copper lines, the reel offers proper clearance to prevent line binding. The aluminum ratcheting drag star with precise detent positions allows fine-tuning of drag settings without guesswork.

This left-hand configuration serves anglers who favor that retrieve orientation and need a dedicated cold-water platform. The linecounter feature eliminates guesswork when positioning lures at specific depths—critical for targeting suspended fish beneath ice or in deep offshore structure. Weekend ice anglers and serious trollers alike benefit from the compact 4.7 x 3.45 x 6.45-inch footprint, which accommodates tight rod holders and shallow tackle boxes. The ergonomic grip handle knobs reduce hand fatigue during extended sessions in freezing conditions when bare hands are impractical.
