Quick take
A specialized ice fishing inline reel with magnetic drop control and bidirectional lever for precise depth management.
The Piscifun ICX Carbon left-hand reel in red and black is an inline ice reel with a carbon fiber frame and a CNC-machined aluminum spool.

Common questions
What line does the Piscifun ICX Carbon left-hand reel hold?
The left-hand red and black Piscifun ICX Carbon is rated for 4 lb monofilament, about 120 yards. Spool it with that line size and length to match the reel's listed capacity. Its weight is 5.8 oz, and the 4 lb rating is the figure to check before you load line.
What is the max drag on the Piscifun ICX Carbon ice reel?
The Piscifun ICX Carbon is rated for a maximum drag of 11 lb. That drag works through a magnetic drop system with seven neodymium magnets, not a conventional star drag. The rating is the same for the left-hand red and black version and the silver and black version.
Is the Piscifun ICX Carbon made for left-handed anglers?
Yes. The red and black Piscifun ICX Carbon sold here is a left-hand retrieve reel, and a silver and black left-hand version is also listed. A right-hand red and black version is available too, so choose the handle side that matches how you hold your rod.
What gear ratio does the Piscifun ICX Carbon use?
The Piscifun ICX Carbon uses a 3.2:1 gear ratio, so each turn of the handle brings in 3.2 turns of the spool. Paired with an 8+1 bearing set, it is a high-speed setup for an inline ice reel, and the ratio is the same for the left-hand and right-hand versions.
What bearings does the Piscifun ICX Carbon ice reel have?
The Piscifun ICX Carbon has an 8+1 bearing set, with stainless steel bearings and brass gears. The reel weighs 5.8 oz. The 8+1 count is the same on the left-hand red and black, the right-hand red and black, and the silver and black versions.
