Gear & Gadgets: Rapala ice-fishing line and much more – Outdoor News
When it comes to ice fishing, all of the action comes down to the last 2 feet. It’s here, where you’re trying to navigate your catch through a 10-inch diameter hole, that your fishing line must not fail. It’s those final 2 feet of fishing line that separate you and a fish on the ice.
Sufix® Performance Tip-up Ice Braid – now available in a new spool size, 150 yards – is made with a high tenacity polyester braid known as HTP™, which provides exceptional abrasion resistance, durability, low stretch, and diameter-to-strength ratios. The line’s Hydro Fusion Process™ ensures fast-sinking speed, low memory, and exceptional cold weather handling.
The new spool size comes in black and is available in 15 lb. test, 20 lb. test, 30 lb. test and 50 lb. test. Performance Tip-Up Ice Braid also is available in a 50-yard spool, too.
Serious anglers know that with every cast there’s a lot on the line. Sufix is engineered to be stronger and tougher. Sufix is one of the ten respected brands within the RapalaVMC family. Click here to view more products from Rapala.

SPOOLER ELITE REEL FOR HARDWATER ANGLING
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 light bites and lessen lure spin for shy & finicky fish.
New for this ice season, the Clam Ice Spooler Elite Reel features a shallower spool, so anglers use less line spooling their reel, its improved 2.3:1 gear ratio, and is now available in three colors. With the Ice Spooler Elite Reel, anglers strip the line off by hand, ready to set the hook on their nex catch.
Clam Outdoors began as a manufacturer of quality ice fishing equipment over 30 years ago. The leader in the ice-fishing industry offers a full line of hardwater fishing supplies, including the Fish Trap® (flip over shelters), Clam™ pop-up hub-style shelters, IceArmor™ by Clam (outerwear: bibs, parkas, head & hand) and Clam Ice Fishing clothing (base layer, socks, boots).

LINDELL ICE RIG – A MUST FOR EVERY FISH HOUSE
The Lindell Ice Rig has been improved even more, now with Glow Rings on both sides of the reel and available in orange and green. It also includes a wall bracket and handle for easy winding, and its improved line tensioning eliminates free spooling when you hook into a fish.
With two more O rings on the front and back of the spool, it allows line tension that won’t over-tighten or tighten too fast. This reduces unwanted vibration down the line as the line feeds out.
The Lindell Ice Rig is constructed with a heavy-duty, durable plastic spool, adjustable swing arm and small, cut-glass beads inside the spool, which alerts anglers to even the lightest bites. Since it glows in the dark, you’ll know which rig got hit while the lights are out during overnight outings.
No spokes, no bells, no wingnuts – this is the smoothest ice rig you’ll find for winter fishing. For even greater convenience, this unit mounts to your fish house wall or five-gallon bucket with ease. Visit www.lindellicerigs.com for more information.
