Fisherman's Factory Outlet Spirit Lake

The place has kinda turned into a joke over the years IMO and the great deals they are pretty a myth anymore.

However, the Shakspeare Reels they have for $5 a piece with stren line on them are hard to beat. I picked up 5 for $26 today....got home and oiled them with Lucas reel oil......smooth has a babies bottom. Heck the spool of 4# Stren on them is dang near worth the $5.

I picked up a few last year, I've been very happy and impressed for the money. The 2 bearing reel is smooth for the most part, the spool is aluminum, and the drags are smooth.....just might need a touch of oil on it.

So just a heads up to anyone going to fish at the IGL and wants some solid ice feels for cheap.

Wished I lived closer I could use about  $!0 worth.

What is really crazy....the Stren Line on the reels is actually pretty good line. I tried using it ice fishing and it worked really well. So for $5 u get about $2.99 worth of fishing line & a reel worth $19-$25. Not bad.
