When I first started ice fishing years ago, I bought several reels (South Bend - Klondike) for about $7 bucks. And I've been surprised how long they've lasted and how well they've served me.
But "$7" reel these days is plastic, and the drag is horrible... So, I have purchased others that cost considerably more and have been totally disappointed also. I'm on a tight family budget and have to be practical in what I spend, and I have to believe that there are decent reels out there that are not expensive.
Any very experienced ice anglers got anything they just love and recommend?
Thanks
Thanks!
