You can usually pick up one of these reels right around $20. It is a great reel and the price it decent. You can use the reel on a open-water rod after the ice fishing season. I have one of these reels on a 32" St. Croix Premier Ice rod and I caught a few decent lakers with it last year. The drag was smooth with the bigger fish I hooked which kept the fish on the hook during frenzy that followed. Here is a 27" that I caught on it last year, the combo brought it in like a champ : _________________________ May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it. ~Irish Blessing
