daiwa d-spin ultralight spinning reels Mini System Minispin Reel and Rod Combo in Hard Carry Case : Spinning Rod And Reel Combos : Sports & Outdoors and other small game on light line and are the perfect reel for ice fishing Daiwa Spinmatic 4 Piece Travel

A 34mm U-shaped aluminum spool and 95mm bowed handle give you comfort, balance, and control for long days on the water

Another complaint about the retrieve is the excessive backplay found in the handle

It is also important that you ensure you check your reel for the recommended line weight and length

The 5000 size of the reel can store uo to 370m of 14lb line where as the 5500 can store a whopping 440m of the same line, so youll never feel short-changed on the cast

It fits in my hand perfectly, but I know a few fellow anglers that feel it is a bit on the small size

Baitcasting rods will, by design, have a stiffer backbone than spinning rods
