Ice Fishing Reel

[Bow-Dude]

Thanks for all the responses everyone. Let me tell you a little about myself. My information posted about me on this site is incorrect, I first joined BFT about 20 years ago. I noticed I have at least 3 different names I am lised under. I started ice fishing with my brother about 1968. My first experience was at Mantua. Back then we would cut holes in the ice with an ax. Can't remember ever catching anything and we only went a couple of times. We would walk from Mantua back down the canyon to Brigham City where we lived. We were both too young to drive back then. I have been ice fishing with my son for many many years and finally got my wife interested about 10 years ago. We have a snowmobile that we use to get around on the ice and we have 4 different ice tents that we have available. We bought the Eskimo Evo II Cross Over last year and it has become our favorite. We have about a dozen ice fishing reel/pole setups, all with spinning reels. Our Ugly Sticks are our favorite rods. If we go with the 13 inline reels, it will be by far our most expensive ice fishing setups. We are leaning towards the Ghost model. For 2020, they have multiple colors available in lieu of the standard white, green or black. I have sent them an email asking what the color options are as they do not list any on their web site other than "multiple colors are available". We are too old (both 65 and older) and lazy to fish out of anything but a heated tent, so line freeze ups are something we generally do not have to deal with. We really enjoy fishing at Strawberry best and the last couple of years have really liked fishing at night. We normally will fish at Renegade during the day beginning at sunup. Never made it over there last year, tried some areas a little closer to Chicken Creek after they started charging to park at the Marina. I have been interested in the inline setup for a couple of years and we decided to pull the trigger on a couple for this winter. Hopefully the Coved Scare will not affect us this year like it did the end of last years season.
