Quick take

A manual plastic reel for ice fishing buckets and shelter bases.

This black plastic rattle reel is made for ice fishing from a bucket, a shelter base or a sled, where it holds line for jigging without a rod in hand. It is manual and ambidextrous, so it works the same for left- and right-handed anglers. At 10.4 ounces and about 13.4 inches long, it is a compact add-on for a first-time or seasoned ice angler.
