Inline ice fishing reel for regular crappie fishing?

[TXSlab]

Do you not tighten the red knob on the side to set the tension?

I wish that’s what the red knob was for.

It holds the spool in place and allows you to remove it. It screws down to a certain point and doesn’t get any tighter and doesn’t touch to spool at all.

I appreciate the feedback and again, that would make a lot of sense! Thank you!

Absolutely! Here’s the upgraded version with the magnetic brake like a modern baitcast reel. I might buy one for $40 and see if it works like I’d hoped these would.

I have never seen a ice reel with a paddle handle release like that. On the Eagle Claw you simply push a button located at the base of the handle. When using mines it is simply a upgraded line holder. 99% of the time I am either fishing straight down or pitching the bait and letting it come back to me.

There are quite a few YT videos on these reels and the upgraded version as well.

Please tell me where you are buying these reels for $40? The lowest price I see is $70.

On the Piscifun website for $44.99, then I got a code for another 15% off.





Then $35.99 on Amazon:

In your first post (#13) you show a photo of an ICX Frost and that is the reel I asked about.

Then in your response to my question about price, you show a photo of an ICX Carbon.

These are different reels with different prices. I just looked on Amazon and the ICX Carbon can be bought for $39.99, but price for the ICX Frost is $59.99.
I did say in my original post the lowest price I had seen on an ICX Frost was $70.00, so I was $10 off.

Clearly you’re trying to make a point. So if you look at the photo that you’ve copied in your post above, there’s actually a Frost for $49.99 on Amazon.

You save $20. You’re welcome.
