Quick take
An inline ice fishing reel with freefall trigger system for precise depth control and quick hookset.
This left-hand inline ice reel from 13 Fishing drops your jig with a squeeze of the FreeFall trigger, and a magnetic adjuster lets you tune how fast it falls. It runs a 2.5:1 gear ratio, takes up about 18.9 inches of line per crank and tops out at 6.6 lb of drag. That suits shallow to mid-depth holes, roughly 5 to 50 feet, for anglers who want quick, hands-on depth control on the ice.
