Whether you are ice fishing or tip-up fishing, we have the reels you are looking for! Choose from many different models and brands here.
Reels for ice fishing and tip-up fishing do not need to be able to cast any bait with long and accurate precision, but they still need to work reliably and have a dependable drag system in cold weather. We have developed a number of cost-effective and functional reels for your ice fishing adventure. All reels in stock for immediate delivery!
This indicates the size class of the reel. The size is specified differently depending on the type of reel, and you can read more about how they’re classified under Frequently Asked Questions in each reel’s category.
Brand
Fish species
Here, we’ve categorized the products based on which fish you want to hook. We’ve relied on what manufacturers specify, but also on experience of what usually works. The list could almost be endless, and many things work for more species than we’ve listed, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Reel handle side
This indicates which side of the reel the handle is on.
Refers to how many centimeters of line are wound onto the spool per crank. The higher the gear ratio on the reel, the faster you retrieve the line.
Type of fishing
Refers to which type of fishing the product is intended for.
Example: A spinning reel is intended for the spin fishing method.
Rod type
Refers to which type of rod this product pairs with. The most common rod types are spinning rods and casting rods. Casting rods pair with trolling reels, saltwater reels, low-profile reels, and baitcasting reels. Spinning rods pair with spinning reels.
Suitable line
Refers to which line is primarily suited to the product. The most common types of lines are braided lines and monofilament lines.
Gear ratio grouping
What is gear ratio? The term gear ratio, or 'gear ratio' in English, is a value that indicates how many turns the reel’s spool makes per crank. A normal gear ratio is around 5.0:1 and up, meaning the spool rotates five times per crank. A high gear ratio, 'high speed,' is typically around 6.5:1, meaning 6.5 rotations per crank. Such a reel can be useful, for example, when fishing for sea trout on the coast, as trout often like a bit of speed on the lure.
Are you a beginner and want better control over the lure you’ve cast? Use a reel with a slightly lower gear ratio, around 5.0:1.
Max drag capacity grouping
Refers to how many kilos the reel can brake. The more kilos the reel can handle, the more powerful the drag. Many spinning reels have a braking strength up to 5 kilos, and that’s sufficient for fishing with standard lures (around 10-30 grams) and fighting our most common freshwater fish. However, when casting really heavy lures, like in heavier pike fishing, you want the reel to handle at least 10 kilos of braking strength. Saltwater anglers and extreme fishermen targeting the largest species require a really powerful drag that can withstand all the stresses fishing entails. A super-strong drag with over 20 kilos of braking force is not uncommon in this genre.
