Quick take
A 5 oz inline reel with 3.6:1 ratio and smooth ball bearings, built for left-hand jigging in ice.
The Clam Gravity is a small graphite ice reel that weighs about 5 ounces, which keeps it easy to hold through a long day over the hole. It runs a 3.6:1 gear ratio on 3+1 bearings with anti-reverse, and this Polychromatic version is left-hand retrieve. It suits finesse jigging with light line for panfish and similar species.
Best for
- Left-handed anglers jigging for walleye, perch, and pike
- Anglers who value reduced fatigue in long ice sessions
- Precision jigging in tight vertical patterns
Skip if
- You right-hand retrieve; left-hand only
- You fish moving baits; vertical jigging requires a specific setup
Strengths
- 5 oz ultralight reduces hand fatigue through long sessions
- 3.6:1 ratio allows precise vertical control for jigging
- Graphite frame and stainless bearings survive sub-zero temps
Trade-offs
- Left-hand only limits market; right-hand versions available

- Inline spool limits line capacity and casting range
