I've have one of the new generation Convector lo-pro lc's since they first came out a couple of months ago. Not the same as the old ones by a long shot.

Decent build, a lot similar to the ColdWater lo-pro's. Plastic housing cover, but decent quality. I bought it for walleye plug fishing. I have it mounted on a Cousins Columbia 802 rod. I did hook and land a 15ish pound chinook on it that took several long runs and it handled it just fine (springer fishing was closed then and it was a hatchery fish I had to release). No issues to date with the reel.

Not sure how it would hold up to 16 ounce lead pro-trolling or B10. Lighter trolling, no problem. If you want to do heavy trolling, get the Coldwater.

That "Quick Drop" feature is very handy for trolling and bumping bottom. When you dip your rod back and see you have lost bottom contact, hit the spool release and hold until you touch back down, then simply release the spool button. You do not have to re-engage the spool again by cranking the handle. Might be a lazy step, but convenient. Very helpful in walleye bottom bouncing. I've been using the Quantum Accurist level wind reels for this for years. Nice to see a new reel with this.

Pretty much as I stated in post #4 above. It would be fine trolling 5-6 ounces and triangles in the Willamette for springers. Not 12-16 ounces and 360’s.
