A Daiwa Saltist Levelwind Line Counter Conventional Reel solves two issues. First, the automatic even line spread on the spool while retrieving means you won't have to guide your line manually with a thumb or another digit to avoid piling line up in the middle, which may cause a time-wasting tangled line mess on your next cast. Second, the levelwind permits the built-in direct drive line counter to function more accurately and as intended. The Saltist Levelwind Line Counter Reel features an aluminum frame and sideplate, Daiwa's Ultimate Tournament Drag (UTD) to stop the big fish from swimming wildly away, a machined aluminum spool, a spool click, and a soft-touch grip knob for comfort and better retrieval leverage. You'll say good riddance to cutting tangled lines and hello to reliable line distance counts when you choose a Daiwa Saltist Levelwind Line Counter Conventional Reel!
