FNP, as you know I have the Tekota 500 LC and I used it all of last season on the rigger, it has held up well. The drag still works great even after of a season at Westport. Earlier in the season we went on our Canadian outing and I spooled the same reel up with Powerpro and jigged with it, the Linecounter came in very handy after hitting Kings at certain depths and then wasted no time back to the depth. The thing I really like with the LC is the lever does click back on with a crank of the handle, makes downrigging with it that much easier.
Oh and the 500's had plenty of line capacity to boot.
