They were at the ice show. It looked nice but a little high price for me. It did not have a free spool option that I noticed. The guy in the booth said he designed the real so I asked if they are hand made since he was bragging about the quality which seemed very nice and he said he is having them made in China so not sure how to take that one?.
I have 2 of the Ice Hopper Extreme straight line reels. They are the same design $39.00. I really like them for the price, can’t see the $170.00 price tag.
