State of the art? I think the Jason Mitchell is about as state of the art they can get.  It's got a minnow bucket and comes with lights! ha.  I don't know what else more you can add besides cup holders or something.

For 119 bucks on that teardrop I think I will pass. I like that they dropped the price on the 241 and the 6061

I think it's awesome.  But for that kind of cash I want to actually hold it in my hand and feel what it's like.  After last years experience with the 6061 though by the times I get my hands on it, it will most likely be sold out.

I see frabill made their own version of the 6061.wonder what that will be like and the price. Hopefully its in between the 13 and the eagle claw in quality and price

Nice looking reel.  Getting to be quite a selection of in-line reels to choose from.  ;D  All good.

Post by: dkfry on Jul 21, 2013, 07:37 PM
The problem I see with these inline reels they are coming out with is that they are too big. The last thing I want to hang on to a nice super light super sensitive bluegill rod is a behemoth of a reel. You don't need more than 100yds of line and 100yds of 1 or 2lb hardly takes up room on the spool.

i have heard rumor that Clam has discontinued the JM 1 man and will be coming out with a couple of new one man shelters this year but as of right now I cannot find any information on them.  I have heard their "top of the line" one man will run a guy roughly $600 but I cannot confirm nor deny that.  Hopefully they will come out with some info soon, I have some money that I need to spend haha.

I have a 6061 mounted to a 28" med wicked rod that I pounded last year and it held up great caught lots of eyes and perch on it so I will have another set up just like it, far as the new tear drop goes IMO if you fish out side it may have an ice build up problem , a closed face reel in the winter ?  time will tell , and far as the JM1 man I had one warm seat was comfy , and I like the lighting , the minnow bucket was to small and in the way and I can pack more in my Kenai and the tub is also not as heavy either , but I am old and a little fussy

I was cruising through the Fleet Farm website and it looks like a lot of the Clam tackle is updated in case anybody is interested.  Looks like they will be selling Maki-Plastics with the Clam name and a whole line of jigs.

Is it bad that I'm starting to get the itch to get on ice already?

well I just looked at the new line up for 13 and I think it looks great , changed my mind on the tear drop i had there line up in my paws I think some of you will like it , far as the 6061 goes you won't be able to switch from right to left you will have it left or right , and there has been 17 changes to the reel since last year all internal far as i could tell and some rod changes and a spinning reel with a longer stem to , and saw the new striker float suits , now the inseams are adjustable to accommodate different length's , I hope to be an owner of one this winter I'm over due for a new suit , they now come in several models and colors

I knew you were going to like the 13 stuff.  I think I may get another 6061 as well as the teardrops.  Their rods look good too.
As far as the suit - I may be up for one too, but I think you need to keep them out of the lake for the performance to keep up.  ::)

There's an easy way, Frldyz, scroll back up to the top of this page & click on the blue Clam/ Ice Armor logo.   Magic, as they are a Sponsor.    ;)2

From there, just work their site 'til you find it.   It's caveman easy, too.    ;D

Hmmm.  This one could be interesting if it has some kind of gear reduction, but from the looks of the video (and a lot of "pausing") I don't think it's anything other than a handle kit for a drill.  If it DOES have a 2:1 reduction set, I'm in for one as soon as they're available.  If it's just a handle, well, meh.

Does not look like there is any kind of gear reduction there.  Still, nice looking set up.

Did anybody else by chance see on the Clam site that they are offering a power(gas) auger as well as the drill conversion kit? They didn't have any pricing on it listed yet when I was checking out thier site earlier. Looks to be VERY similar  ;) ;)  to another auger out there.
