HIMENLENS Mini Ice Fishing Reel All Metal Raft Wheel Ice Reel

I got the size 60 left hand retrieve and after seeing it I'm glad I didn't get the smaller size because it is very small. I wanted a very, light all or mostly aluminum reel for shallow water panfish jigging and this little thing fills the bill just fine. The drag is adequate for panfish and it actually feels very smooth for the price. I like it much better than any of the mostly plastic models I've used in the past. There is no "free spool" function to drop your jig down fast. Even with the drag all the way as far off as possible you will need to feed the line down by hand or if you are of a mind to do so you can always back the drag off and wind it backward to get your jig down. I could not weigh it on a gram scale because mine only goes up to 20 grams. I'm just guessing here but I'd say it's weight is between 2 and 3 ounces. What I personally like most about about it is it has a silent retrieve a and it's also silent when the drag is being pulled. I positively HATE the clicking sound when retrieving line and any reel that clicks on retrieve is a total deal breaker for me. If you are in the market for a really light weight panfish jigging reel this is a great choice. It's so light you will hardly notice it's there. I would recommend it and I would buy it again.

Like the little reel but the drag is worthless. If you bump the handle the spool just unlocks and unwinds
