rock&reel?

I'm curious if I got one of these last weekend at the ice fishing show? I got a stand alone model that has the open end of an S-hook attached to the rod and the closed end on a key ring attached to the stand. They were $12 or 2 for $20. ( I only got 1 as I couldn't convince my buddy to get one) They looked great to me but can't remember the name. I'll get a chance to try it out this weekend at URL and next week at LOW
FISH ON!!!!!!!

I know which one you are talking about and you do not have the Rock-n-Reel.

That's too bad, because this baby is going to be awesome on those Upper Red lake Crappies.

Click here if you'd like more info or to ask questions.

The Rod balances on a metal shaft with a half-moon cut-out.

You really do have to use it to appreciate it. Seeing it will not do it justice...although it does look very durable.

Take it on my word...if you have a portable you want the Tub/Bucket mount Rock-n-Reel. The Rock-n-Reel can easily be attached to it and folds out of the way when you're not using it.

The stand alone Rock-n-Reel is the more versatile and also folds up for easy transport. I ordered 3 more Tub mounts yesterday. I had 1 so I'll have 2 Rock-n-Reels for each of my portables. I also have the Stand Alone Rock-n-Reel for more mobile situations or when I go fishing with others.

Both types will be powerful tools in your Upper Red Lake fishing package. They will help you detect even the lightest bites.

We have 40 coming in. Sold 16 yesterday and 12 today sight unseen.

We only have 12 left as of 11pm, Thursday, 12/12/02.

Hey Rick -

I met you at the show on Saturday - You sent me over to Tbone to purchase the R&R's which I did qty. 3 of them - heres my question for you (since T is up on LOW today I think?) what is the best position of the rod on the R&R - horizontally level, rod tip slightly pointing up or rod tip slightly pointing down -- I can place my various rigs on R&R and put them in these different positions but I'm not sure if there is any one particular way it should be placed. Thanks!!

The lady selling the rod holder I bought at the ice fishing show was good looking and wanted to take me fishing.(She didn't say she wanted to take me fishing but I KNOW she did!) Also I was at the ice fishing show twice looking at everything( or so I thought) and didn't see anything better than what I bought? i don't remember the r&r by name, but the 2 other holders i looked at seemed inferior.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
