Best Line Counter Reel I've ever owned

Perfect in every way, smooth operation all around, accurate LC feature. Beats anything out there with a Cabelas or Bass Pro label. Heck, the only other LC reel I like as well is a Shimano Tekota, old style.

Went fishing and was using the rod for some Striper fishing at Depth Control Worked Fine.
Put a Jig on it set the adjustments for casting and it was so smooth as silk to cast.
108' Cast , perfect i was thinking man i love this reel.
Next time we went Clicker came loose and no longer worked, I used reel rest of the day
just no Clicker.
I took it home and fixed it i think. a Pin to hold clicker in position had come off.
Forgot to mention it had worked well with clicker on for trolling before.
If it would not have broken i would go 5 Star no Problem. May be a one time issue.
I hope not. Ill wait and see. I would have ordered another. Hope it works out. Good Luck
Pros
