The learning curve with the bait casters and the bird's nest of memories. There's that on ice fishing too, when one hasn't gotten used to the feathering the spool on lure deployment. As since the initial lure drop often speeds the spool up faster than after the lure hits the water and starts to sink. Or if one is used to wrist flick the rod on the lure drop like on spinning reels, it's a disaster for baitcasting reels since again the spool speed is faster than the line pull speed and line tangles are waiting to happen.If one uses like standard round reels of like the trolling reels with the clicking bait feeder engaged. It works in place of a rattle reel, in a dead stick fashion bait feeder set up. I had one set up for that purpose but it was such a rare thing for me to use I just benched it. Hadn't camped out enough to bring that out, but always available as another option. Aside I still have my fly reels for that purpose if ever a need arises for it too. Something about a rude awakening to a rattling sound from a reel but rewarding effect.
What's your preferred baitcasting reel to match with a L/ML ice rod?
