okuma classic glt dipsy diver rods PRO 10' DIPSEY ROD 2 PC. – Grimsby Tackle The Classic Pro downrigger trolling rods from Okuma are designed with double Okuma Classic Pro GLT Dipsy

Smooth aluminum foot w/milky white agate line guard

These rod holders feature a super strong 3/8"

"It's a technique I use often, yet it's something I tried to get away from in the past, which is allowing a 'bow' or sideways-'U' to form in my line during a lure retrieve," says Ising

With the rod angled at a 45 towards the lure/fish the rod slides out easily since the pressure is actually helping in the rods removal

What I will say however is that reels that tout high drag pressure availability are not trying to get you to lock it up, but are making you aware of the strength and engineering behind their drag components
