Quick take
A small in-line ice fishing reel with teflon drag and quick release for setting and retrieving through ice holes.
This is a compact inline ice reel with a nylon body, an aluminum handle and a 2.6:1 gear ratio. A Teflon drag, spool tension adjustment and a free spool release button give you control while working a hole. It suits anglers jigging for panfish and crappie through the ice who want a light, simple reel.
Best for
- Beginning ice anglers
- Fishing small to medium panfish through the ice
- Anglers who hand-hole fish without reels
Skip if
- You fish large pike or walleye through the ice
- You prefer electric reels for speed
Strengths
- Small size and light weight reduce fatigue during long days
- Teflon drag is smooth and adjustable for sensitive panfish
- Spool tension adjustment and free-spool release simplify use
Trade-offs
- 2.6:1 ratio is slow; reeling panfish takes longer
- Nylon body is not as durable as all-aluminum
- Line capacity is modest; limits to small baits and light line
