I no longer ice fish, but I kept one Eagle Claw inline reel. I have it mounted on a 9-foot heavy fly rod to use as a crappie rod. I can't cast with it, obviously, but that is not its purpose. The rod/reel is perfect for dropping a small jig straight down into brush or under docks, while keeping me far enough away to not spook fish. Its an odd combo, but it is absolutely the snizzle for pinpoint jig delivery.
