Ice fishing baitcasting reel....
Agronomist_at_IA:
So does anyone thing we will see some company release an “ice fishing”bait casting reel....
Guessing it would just be a baitcaster in a size to fit our ice rods.....
Surprised no company has done it yet.
HWeber:
Not enough rods out yet, but same argument could be had for nor having rods, not enough reels. ;D what comes first the rod or the reel ???
Handy:
hopefully it wouldn't be expensive either. No overly complicated spool tension system to prevent rats nesting. It would make things more compact to store also.
river rat78:
Baitcasters are better used with heavier baits and line. I don’t see them being able to drop small lures designed for panfish. I do see them being used to target larger fish like walleye, pike, laker trout. For this you can just use a low profile baitcaster.
DR.SPECKLER:
Id like to see a nice small baitcaster reel too.not the cheap ht one either..i think it wouldnt be a levelwind because that has the tendency to get water splashed on it and freezes up on my winter steelhead reels.
