This ice season I switched to an inline reel, I like the absence of line twist and the free-fall. The new reel had it's drag put to the test more than once... and it passed. Smooth drag, which made some screeching noises a few times... but that was a good thing

Ice WAS good this winter, trout have bit, reel peel happened, and records were broken, twice.
A good season, which now appears to have reached it's end.
