best ice fishing bait cast reel and rod combo Lightning Combo, 32" / Medium Heavy Ugly won’t quit Best Fishing Rod and Reel

I also use 15-20 lb downrigger balls if I want to fish deeper water to help reduce blowback

Thats why Kermett Adams builds his handmade wooden peacock bass lures from premium grade Eastern Red Cedar with high quality components

The reel also has a large-arbor form factor, but doesn't skimp on spool capacity, leaving you plenty of room for backing
