how good is a okuma convector 55w. Looking at this reel and its cheap at turners right now for 49buxx, any one know if this would be a good starter trolling reel.

Don't do it.
It's a piece of shit!

If it was me, I'd stay away from the Okuma reels. I looked at the TITUS myself and chose to go with Shimano.

I have a Titus 15II that has given me no problems so far.. use it to troll 40# on my boat.

All I can say on the convector series is ya get what ya pay for...

i've had the okuma deckhand special for about 6months and have had no probs with it and its cheep. I have caught 6' lepard sharks,cudas,a 45lb butt and have had no probs so do you guys thing this reel would do that kind of stuff or should i just forget about it?
thanks guys you really help.
