I so wish there was an option with a mid-20s IPT. the 7.4:1 will get you 18ipt on an emtpy spool.. 32ipt on a full spool (which is a misnomber because if your spool is full, there is no line to bring in ;) ) ... so on a good cast, you'll be getting mid to high twenties. Makes sense. Thanks Cal!

I have been experiencing similar issues. Especially the performance of the forum has dramatically decreased. It almost gets to the point where it is getting borderline acceptable to use in 2024... @Admins: Might be the time to upgrade the forum infrastructure?! When I compare this forum to the like...

Great looking bait, but man that price is a tough pill to swallow.

Terribly slow this side of the pond, and logs you out every time even after selecting "remember me".

Yup, same here.

waiting for someone to create an actual dedicated ice fishing casting reel...but not like the 13 tear drop dead weight.

I've been using an older Calcutta 51 on my MH and H ice fishing rods with great results.

Love the Motown references.

Seems like a lot of competition in this rat race. I don’t use them but I read the write ups and i think I’ll give it a shot

They are so much fun to fish.

Overall, the Rage line just keeps on producing for me. The baby craw has been my number one plastic over the last several years.

Great stuff Cal. I have a 5-powered Z-Bone looking for a mate...this reel has been on my radar, and will probably be a winter acquisition.

I was stoked to see your review on this awesome looking bait. I have a feeling this thing would be a sleeper on our lakes in the Northwoods.

Totally agree with the previous comments. One of your best write-ups, the "Dark Lord" strikes again. Ordered the 101HG on Monday, delivered today and WOW! I have relatively small hands and it is a perfect fit. Now I have "bookends"; the OG 101DC (my primary cranking reel) and it...
