Not what I consider a good ice rod but I guess for the super cheap it will work and better then the crappy ht ones.

Is there anyone else that does not like the line twist with these type of spinning reels, or is just me. It drives me crazy. These combos would work for my Dad as he likes to set my tip ups close to the truck and place my good rods and reels on the ice at the farthest hole and come back to the truck. I would not be as upset to sacrifice one of these units due to an unexpected bite.

Line twist is cause from 1 of 2 things.

1) Using a lure that creates twist and not using a swivel.

2) Reeling while line is pulling drag. If you hear your drag when reeling, stop. Either set drag higher or play the fish more.
