Hi all, first post from a land locked alberta boy.
I'm looking for opinions on running a level wind reel on a down rigging rod. The old man had surgery for carpel tunnel on his hands, and has a tougher time with mooching reels as his hand cramps up. The level wind style reels look like they might be a bit easyer for him to run with the big grip and not having to burn out the scars on his palm slowing down fish.
Alos, the reel would get run on an Ugly Stick Lite downrigger rod.
Anyone with any experience or other suggestions?
Thanks alot.
