The Reel: Materials and Construction
The Fiblink Inline Ice Fishing Reel is constructed of a solid computer numeric control (CNC) machined aluminum body and spool, and it has a generous line capacity to match its solid construction. Make no mistake, despite its ultra-lightweight construction, this model is capable of delivering exceptionally smooth performance. The aluminum material generates a protective oxide coating on its own, so there is no need to paint or coat the body with anything other than aluminum. Because of the durability of the anodic coating, the reel is also relatively simple to clean. In addition, the aluminum material is non-toxic, which ensures user safety.
This ice fishing reel has a line capacity of 210 meters of 0.12mm line, 150 meters of 0.17mm line, and 70 meters of 0.21mm line, ensuring that you will have enough line to conduct successful angling expeditions on the ice. In addition to allowing for effortless loading and unloading, the six ball bearings ensure smooth casting by allowing for exceptional retrieves. When it comes to fishing reels, the line capacity of this model ensures that it can easily handle the depth of the water as well as the type of fish that may run with the fishing line. The one-way clutch ensures that you have complete control over the vehicle at all times.
With its super smooth drag system, you can count on it to apply consistent pressure to the spool, effectively acting as a friction brake against it. The ability to catch a variety of fish with a single setup is made possible by this. Because of the drag system, the fishing line can be allowed to flow freely off the spool before it is snapped by the weight of the fish or the fight that the fish puts up. The correct setting of the drag will allow you to safely land large and powerful fish.
This model is also equipped with anti-reverse technology to further enhance its safety. When the drag is activated and the line is pulled from the reel, this unique feature ensures that the handle will not rotate backwards for an extended period of time. When battling with a fish, it allows the angler to choose whether to use the drag or the back reel to his advantage. Furthermore, the high number of bearings and the tight machine tolerances contribute to the delivery of play-free handling, allowing you to have effortless control in stop-and-go retrieves and making solid hook sets, which is further enhanced. It also increases the stability of the bearing system, allowing it to withstand the pressure of a fiercely fighting school of fish.
When the reel is turned on, the free spool release button allows you to engage the reel and retrieve the line that has been wound around it. When the reel is in the off position, it is in free spool mode, which allows you to let the line flow out of the reel while using the lure or bait. Backlash can be avoided by keeping the thumb on the free spool, which also serves to control the release of the fishing line when the rod is released.
This fishing reel is also equipped with a soft grip made of non-slip EVA foam, which provides comfort while fishing. Cleaning the EVA foam grip of fish oil, protein, and slime is a simple matter of scrubbing with detergent and rinsing thoroughly. In contrast to other types of materials, the EVA soft grip is long-lasting and durable, and it is relatively resistant to chipping and dents when improperly handled.
High strength brass gear that has been precision machined provides dependable toughness and long service life. This fishing reel has five stainless steel bearings and one roller bearing, all of which work in harmony with the anti-reverse system to provide unrivaled stability and smoothness. The five bearings are constructed of stainless steel, which ensures that they are resistant to corrosion and chipping.
When the handle is rotated 360 degrees, the spool rotates 2.6 times. This allows for faster casting and reeling in of even large fish thanks to the dependable 2.6:1 ratio.
When purchased, the Fiblink Inline Ice Fishing Reel is packaged in a protective bag that allows for easy portability while also protecting the unit, particularly its most critical components, during transportation.
The ice fishing reel’s primary components are accented with bright red paint, which creates a pleasing contrast to the smooth aluminum exterior and silver finish. It is certain to meet all of your fishing requirements for many years to come. The components are simple to disassemble for cleaning and then reassemble once the cleaning is completed. Because of the light weight and high-quality components, you won’t have to worry about fatigue when holding the fishing reel for extended periods of time. The line capacity ensures that the fishing line performs optimally without putting undue strain on the various components of the spooling system.
