bassnass Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 Saw a couple at SAIL - $65 price range. Wanted one until I saw that. I've got a couple of fly reels.
BillM Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 A small 3.5in centerpin sounds like the ticket.
Billy Bob Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 Oh my....I don't know how I ever coped ice fishing for perch without a fly reel... Does anyone here but me think these outdoor writers do a article on some product ONLY because it was sent to them FREE....One of my hunting/fishing partners is a "outdoor writer" and his garage is full of crap that he hasn't even had the chance to take out of the boxes yet (years)....
canadadude Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 a tip for line twist, carry a small square of leather chamois in your pocket, run the last 10' of line through the leather and it will instantly get rid of the twist.
GBW Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Posted December 16, 2011 A small 3.5in centerpin sounds like the ticket. I just grabbed a small fly reel and Sinclair gave me his old Light action ice fishing rod to test it with.
BillM Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 I just grabbed a small fly reel and Sinclair gave me his old Light action ice fishing rod to test it with. I'm sure that would work fine... Remove the clicker so you get a decent freespool when letting line out.
GBW Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Posted December 16, 2011 I'm sure that would work fine... Remove the clicker so you get a decent freespool when letting line out. that's the plan. already sppoled up with #6 nanofil and ready to go!
kickingfrog Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 Won't it look silly without some silk line on it?
BillM Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 Won't it look silly without some silk line on it? 6lb Nanofil is like dental floss! lol! Use it on my Frogwater, it's awesome stuff!
GBW Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Posted December 16, 2011 come on Bill, it's stronger and smaller then floss...
BillM Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 come on Bill, it's stronger and smaller then floss... LOL!! I think it might be woven out of unicorn hair...
kickingfrog Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 Sorry guys, my silk reference was to old fly line. Not the new stuff.
