I’m one of those guys that uses my spinning reels for both hard and soft water..
My only problem was that when I used the standard elec. tape to attach the reel to the rod… the sticky residue was left behind on the reel and the tape would pull chunks of cork out of the handle
While browsing through the Fleet Farm site last week to fill out an order to get free shipping I came across this…..
Frabill Ice Fishing Reel Tape link
Took a 10″ piece, stretched it hard,to attach my President 6725 and it is solid!
It’s not sticky at all, but it adheres to itself so well you cannot find the seam when your done
It may seem pricey but……
Just a heads up for those that care
