Bring one to D'arbonne and let me try it.
I think quite a few guys do on jig poles. I've never used one tho so no input
I thought about trying the Eagle Claw ice reel and seeing how it works. I like the large handles on those reels. I just never pulled the trigger on one. Should work great on a jigging pole.
I've have two eagle claw reels for ice fishing,and really like them.They are designed for fishing through a hole, the free spool allows for a quick drop straight down to the depth desired,The drag is not wonderful,but works well enough.I don't feel the eagle would work like a Fly fishing reel,t least not as well,I don't know about the reel above,it is enexpensive.
They are called a straight line reel and are very popular for ice fishing . They are great on a jig pole , there are better ones on the market. Google " straight line reels"
Thanks

Can't help it, I just use ultra light spinning reels. To old to change to something else. But hey, what have you got to loose to try it?
Hey 20 I have an Eagle Ice reel. It's good for spider rigging where the reel seat is in the middle of the handle but not good for on a bottom seat rod to use for dipping in brush or around trees. The large handles seems to be in the way and tangle the line you hold in your left hand.

i have 2 and use them for verticle jigging and love them (same brand). I am going to purchase 4 more to replace my WM solo reels. I am having issues with the side screws coming loose. I have 1 on a 9' and 1 on the 10 ' have been nothing but pleased.
pros is the weight, line retreive is good, large handles helps with quicker response. size is close to a fly reel.
cons is loose lines can get cught up on the handles.
The handles do look like overkill. I'm looking for a reel for winter deep water fishing. WM solos aren't really made for this, spin cast twist the line when I pull line off the reel so I'm looking for something newQuote:

on these type of reels they are not like a fly reel. the line actually is tighter to the rod (on mine). so you will not have allot of slack as you would on others. Also as stated you can hold the line in other hand. I vertical fish as deep as 30' with mine.
20 --- are you using on a regular rod or a Fly Rod ????

I found a great deal on a pair of Eagle Claw inline reels. I am currently waiting on the mailman to drop them off at house. I got a pair of 12ft jigging poles to try them on.
