Have and old rod from twenty years ago. Any spinning reel i put on it causes tue rod blank itself to jump with each rotation of the spool. Even with the smallet reel. Looking at trying an n lne reel, whats a qquality in line reel. For around fifty bucks

Gander is blowing out the wicked 6061 for fity bucks. Don't own one..... but probably the best one out there for that price, it was a hundred ish when it came out. Think it is online only.

I just bought this to put on a new custom rod. Can't wait, it feels very well made. I own and have used both of the Eagle Claw inlines last season. I really like their more expensive option (Black w/ Red Spool).

I'd recommend going with the Eagle Claw inline reel for $24.99. I've used it for two seasons now and love it. Drag system works well and love the free spool feature. However, No. 8 Company makes an inline this year for $34.99 that looks good too and is getting good reviews so far.

I picked up 4 of the black Betty,s from gander and I'm very happy after my one short use. Very nice reel for that price

I am waiting for the new "housed" units to drop in price. That will be sweet. I personally lack the focus and attention to detail needed to effectively operate the others smile

The new Frabill Straight Line 371 is perfect for anyone thinking of trying this style of fishing reel. For those in tune with this style of ice fishing, you'll enjoy the upgrades Frabill made with the 371.

I just got off the ice for the first time this year and my first fish was a 17" bass on my noodle rod with an eagle claw inline reel spooled with 2 lb and I must say the drag worked better than I thought it would.

You can flip the one way bearing over in the eagle claw reels. I don't know about other brands.

I know you can do this with the Black Betty 6061 (last years model) as well.

Put 4 Frabill 261's on some of my rigs last year and they worked like a charm. The easy free spooling, star drag, and GREATLY reduced line twist really impressed me. You can get them now for around 40$

      Fish Newton lake is great for walleyes. Everyone goes to basswood and forgets about newton. The late fall pike bite in pipestone is amazing and it’s a great time to catch the big walleyes are up there feeding too.

      It would cost you 830 bucks to watch every game this NFL season under multiple platforms.   I don't have peacock or espn+ or whatever they want me to have, so I'll just have to relent on being able to watch a few games.  I refuse to cave in to their demands just to watch the Packers play the Eagles in Brazil.  I think last year peacock had the exclusive rights to the Miami/KC playoff game too.  I'm sure that will occur again in January.

      Well it's a win, but it wasn't to Purdy with all the turn overs and penalties!

      Another prediction.   Under the cloud of "Woke Inclusion" Just like the Mn state flag and the Mn Twins, the Vikings name will be going away in a few years! Their already making them look like Snow flakes!  We can't have the uniforms of angry Norwegian people!  Sounds funny but. Wait for it! 😒

      New frontiers.  Expand the market; make more money.  Despite some PR moments, they’re not in it for charity.   BUT, they might want to take a moment and see how that worked out for NASCAR.  Not that having to buy premium channels to watch races was the only problem but it sure helped kill the fever for a lot of people.

      Get ready. Any bets in a few years the average Joe NFL fans aren't going to be able to watch their local teams, unless it's pay for view!  Sounds like their greasing the wheels now.  There are 5 international games this year! ☹️ "The NFL will play a regular season game in Madrid, Spain in 2025, as the NFL prioritizes global growth and expands the International Games to new cities and markets around the world."
