anyone that is following new ice fishing gear probably knows the name black betty 6061
there are already a lot of good reviews, and seems like people down south use it not only for ice fishing

I can't believe that little reel could land a big steelhead like that!

less line twists

it looks like a hybrid between centrepin and baitcaster

That is a gnarly dark steely... Is that a "file photo" or your photo.

If its yours... Nice!

That reel looks interesting. Does it free-spool?

the freespool feauture makes it like baitcaster correct, but also has the clicker feature? half pin half spin ? not really sure what to categorize it as. seems like an interesting reel though, would be nice to handle it to see what its really about.
