My leadcore reels are Shimano speedmasters and they do not have a levelwind.
It may be an issue for some, i don't mind and customers usually do ok with it.
Until we find something that has it all it is kind of a pick your poison situation. You either crank all day with a slow levelwind reel or you guide the line on with a finger. I would rather guide it on instead of reeling all day.
At any rate it is 1/2 the cost of a speedmaster and functions largely the same and is a little smaller.
Just some info to help people make the most informed decisions possible.
Very good point YOAdrien Your the first one I know that uses a non level wind reel for core What you say is right on the $$.I appreciate the reply.Your also right about cranking all day I wish they made a line counter with 6 to 1 ratio for my wire rig I use at Ontario.That would be worth it's weight in gold.Thanks again for the info.
