Baitcast Reels for Ice Fishing

[RockyRaab]

For frequent line length adjustments, a casting reel with a flipping lever would be ideal. With the lever/switch "on" the spool is free when you press the control bar, but locks again when you release the bar - without having to turn the reel handle to engage.

For ice fishing, you'd press the bar to let line out, then just release the bar. Reel (as usual) to retrieve line.
