Looking for new ice reels

[kentd71]

I need to buy 3 to 5 reels for some 30" ice rods and do not want to spend to much ($20 -25) each. Probally the 1000 or 100 size but maybe the next larger one to use all year long. Kids use them also, so I would hate to see an $80 reel down the hole. Haven't yet but caught 2 headed for a swim. I have a Cabelas fish eagle. Shamano ? from Walmart, a Fenwick, and 2 cheap ice combo reels. Looked tonight at a Mitchell and another Shamano. Any others I need to look at ? What works well for you ? I do use my Shamano and a full length rod also but less with the kids running around the holes. Mostly fish Henrys and Ririe in the winter.,
