I generally do not post anything through out the summer, only during the ice fishing season, so it must be a sign. I won a couple of hundred dollars during the Archery 3-d league season and I have been hanging onto to it until I decided what to spend it on. I have settled on a new ice fishing reel. 2 of them actually. One for me and one for my wife. My question for those of you in the know, What is your opinion of an inline reel? I have read some good things about them so I thought I'd give one a try. Eagle Claw makes a highly rated, inexpensive one. 4.5 out of 5 star's that won't break the bank to buy and should it end up down the hole because of in-attention, it won't make me cry. Pro's and Con's.That is all I run for ice season! Micro eagle claw inline for perch, regular eagle claw inline for trout, and i think it is called a magna (big one) eagle claw inline for burbot. The one negative is the knobs that keep on the spool unscrew and will fall off. Make sure you constantly check that it is tight as you fish. Good luck!
