The Clam Spooler Elite Reel has been very popular with ice anglers for many years. When using a spooler reel, the line has far less coiling effect which can help anglers feel extremely lights bites and lessen lure spin for shy and finicky fish. What separates the Spooler Elite from the competition is the 2.3:1 gear ratio. With the Ice Spooler Elite Reel, anglers strip the line off by hand, ready to set the hook on their next catch!
