I was hoping to, but they didn't have any when I got mine.
It'll be interesting to see how it compares to the Convector. |

I saw the Okuma Catalina advertised somewhere-can't remember now :( If I recall they had a couple more bearings and maybe an upgraded drag system from the Convector? I believe the price was in the $120 range.

Mex,

RE: Okuma Catalina anybody try one?
I have six and love them. Totally different drag system than the convector. The only problem is that I am back to primitive board fishing. Counting the wraps. I use rubber bands with my releases so resetting lines is not a problem. They are a bit heavier than the convectors, but when it is time to bring in an empty jet, it's coming home now. The star drag clicks as you tighten or loosen it. Very smooth. I can't wait to use them on kings next spring.
Okuma was supposed to bring the linecounter Catalinas to this country in the Spring, but had a minor glitch and decided to hold them off. The linecounter Catalinas will be made next year for a certain large retailer, and made for the general public the following year. In the mean time, I will use the Catalinas for my boards and riggers in Lake Ontario, and my Boards on Lake Erie. They are a little more expensive, but worth it to me. Frank |

It did seem like a nice reel. Do you know where are they being sold now? Canada?
