High-quality Ice Fishing Reels chosen by anglers for best catch
Ice reels are a specific type of fishing equipment adapted for angling from holes. They are lightweight and as compact as possible, made of frost-resistant durable materials. So such models will not break under the influence of cold. And a special grease will ensure the smooth operation of all mechanisms in any conditions.
Such models are often sold in combination with Rods - such an option is called Ice Combos. This is a great solution for beginners, as it is not so easy to pick up a suitable rod for a lightweight reel and not to break the balance. In addition to frost resistance, quality models of Ice reels have:
- Increased sensitivity. After all, in winter the fish is less active, and the angler needs to feel even a slight bite;
- High level of control. This is important for vertical fishing;
- Smoothly working braking system;
- Easy depth adjustment for bait immersion;
- Lower gear ratio than in many other models;
- A mechanism that prevents the line from twisting (in Inline ice fishing reels).
Discover benefits of our Ice Reels to catch big fish
Why for winter fishing it is necessary to choose such specialized models, and not the more common spinning/baitcasting/spincast, and so on? It's simple. Such equipment is perfectly balanced with Ice Fishing Rods and provides such advantages:
- The ability to feel even a light bite, which is especially important in cold periods when fish are less active;
- High strength, and as a consequence also durability. Severe weather conditions and cold are not afraid of such equipment;
- Low risk of tangling and twisting the line. This is especially important when using light baits, such as soft plastics. This also increases the chance of attracting prey;
- Ease of transportation. Such models have a small weight and size;
- Adaptable to different fishing techniques. For example, Vertical Jigging, Bottom Bouncing, and Pounding;
- Ability to be used with different types of baits: both light and heavy. This also allows you to fish effectively at various depths.
