What is a good trolling rod/reel for a beginer?

[philtheskipper]

I need to buy 4 rods/reels for trolling Lake Erie for walleye. I'm new to this so I don't have a clue as to what to get. I want a line counter on the reel. Will be using Dipsy Divers. Don't want the cheapest but don't want to empty my wallet either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!<br /><br />------------------<br />Phil

good setup for beginers is the diawa combe lc47 reel and rod has a line counter and all i got mine for 75 bucks apiece new and have used them for 3 years now with no problems...remember to reline your reel each year a missed fish due to bad line is your own mistake
