"In Line" ice fishing reels

[perch poacher]

I have been researching "in line" ice fishing reels.  Have any of you had any experience with Black Betty or Eagle Claw in line reels and what is your opinion.  Thanks in advance.

I have an Eagle Claw, Clam, and Cabelas. Love them all. The one big advantage of the EagleClaw to me is you can "reel" with your gloves on

I have a black Betty and the 6061 they both work very well , my 6061 has done very well on perch ,walleyes and lakers , the BB works well for pans I wouldn't use it for much else far as Eagle claw goes the Wright & McGill is a nice reel for 40 bucks

Bought two Eagle Claw's... We'll see how it goes. Fish mostly for Perch and Salmon but this year I am going to give Small Mouth Bass a try.
Will get back to you on that!

I've used a black betty, hard to get used to for me, but it sure was nice not dealing with line twist. My friend and i pulled out all the line and reeled it back up backwards before the owner could ever use it  That first fish he hooked to a while to land    what a riot!!
