I bought this reel as an upgrade for my ultralight ice fishing rig, and it hasn't disappointed me yet. I've used it in way We from 5 to 45 feet and it drops even the smallest jig smoothly. The only problem I have had to date is when the line loops around the outside tension knob on the spool.

The Black Betty is very well constructed for years of fishing, I have a 4 lb Spider Wire on it that works extremely well, I am looking to get another reel and I would recommend this reel for anybody looking to upgrade their fishing arsenal.

This is a great reel. It takes getting used to, after a few fish the drag is good and the lack of line twist improved my catch ratio.

If you want to experience a high quality reel you need to try one of these. This reel out performs my Tica Ceta SB500 and Pflueger President 6920. Once you try one you will be buying several like I did. There is a reason why these reels are always sold out.
