ifish with baitcast
« on: Dec 22, 2019, 08:21 PM »
Looking into purchasing a few Ifish pros and was wondering if anyone has used a baitcast reel with one. Im concerned about the spool spinning out with to little tension or the tension being to tight and the fish letting go because he feels the drag. I just see the dreaded ball of line.

Should be fine like any other baitcasting you should be able to set the anti-reverse or drag enough to be able to get the system to work correctly.
May your tip-up spool while your flag raises with hopes of landing the big one.

Find yourself a clicker type of bait casting reel.  Line counters trolling type reels.  Clicker function works great.
