Fly reels

Howdy,
Anyone else use fly reels for their ice rods? I started a few years ago on my longer noodle rods. Since I fly fish I have an abundance of them I can convert for hard water. Just paired my redington zero on a Mitchell. The zero is one of the lightest on the market and is click and prawl. Likeing this combo feel and should be a good trout rod this winter. Getting too anxious...ha.

Wow, I never thought about doing this! Might have to give it a try on a couple of my pike setups. Thanks ftwwalleye. Cool idea.

you can use them for tip ups too, if close enough to hear it, or rig a flag/bell. short piece of PVC or coffee can with stick over the top.

Check out "small fly reels" on ebay. They have some really nice ones.

I tried the fly reels but once I got a reel with free fall I would never go back.
