A couple of weeks ago I bought two Scheels SOG17LC-W line counter reels at Scheels. They are made by Diawa and are the same as the Diawa SG17LCA but $5 less at $79.99.
They also had a 27 and AccuDepth models like and made by Diawa. All were 5 bucks less than the original.
I couldn’t see or feel any difference in them from each other except the trim is silver on the Scheels and gold on the Diawa.
I’ll do a product review after I use them in a few weeks.
