Questions about 13 FISHING - Descent - Inline Ice Fishing Reels

Will it drop 4mm ice jigs down or do you still have to help it down by hand?

Answer: I use mainly 3mm jigs. Tungsten of coarse. 4's drop ok. If you allow it to drop slowly into a school it normally gets eaten on the way down

How much line fits on the reel?

Answer: I don't have the exact number but if you have too much on and the reel, when it backlash it will create a birds nest. I normally ice fish 25 feet or less and I still have plenty of line left. hope this help

Is it ledt hand right hand changeable?

Answer: No it’s not. You have to get the correct hand.

Answer: no it is not changeable

Answer: No because I think there no difference between them and you set up ether way just if you left handed you turn handles

Answer: No

Answer: Not sure but save your money.

can i get parts for decent i3 inli9ne ice reel

what is the gear ratio?

Answer: It is in the description "2.7:1" meaning or each revolution of the handle the spool rotates 2.7 times.

I think this would make a great bow reel . How many feet of 100 lb line will fit on the spool ?

Answer: This reel is too light for bow fishing. It is designed for light line ice fishing. It holds about 150 yds of 4# test.

Answer: This is made for 2 to 6lb line.Mainly for ice fishing.

Answer: Would not... read the specs.

Where can you purchase additional spools?

Answer: I don't know for sure, but I assume from 13.

Does this reel free fall?

Answer: Yes. A button engages free spool.

Answer: Yes it does, make sure you adjust the free fall when changing jigs and baits

Answer: Yes.very cheaply made

Answer: Yes it does.

Answer: Yes, it does.

I know the frame is carbon but is the spool also carbon or is it aluminum?

Answer: The spool is also carbon.

Is this left hand retrieving?

Answer: You can get either left hand or right hand retrieve... this one says left handed so it should be left hand retrieve

Answer: Yes, this is the left handed model.

Answer: Right hand holds ice fishing rod and left hand is being used to reel. So yes, I think.

Answer: Yes. Unless you were to order the right handed one.

Answer: Yes, it is

Answer: Yes it is

Que. I use mine and switch the button up it clicks. I thought they weren’t supposed to make noise?

Answer: You can turn the clicker off by the switch on the side.

When will this re be in stock again? Short ice fishing season here. Dont want to order this if it wont get here soon.

How many pounds of drag does it have?

Answer: Hard to say, never measured it. Come to think of it, I have no idea how many pounds of drag any reel I own has. My best answer is that you can catch 14” crappie on 2 pound test without running them out too much, and still giving them plenty of fight. Hope this helps.

Product reviews of 13 FISHING - Descent - Inline Ice Fishing Reels

Randy : Missed the mark

Unfortunately, the drag system on the reel is not on par with price comparisons. Other than that, it does its job on smaller pan fish.

Kyler S. : Garbage

This thing is absolute garbage. Just got done using it for the first time and it wont reel up anymore. It skips. Id give it 0 stars if i could. I wouldnt waste the money

tommy g : Great ice fishing reel

Loaded with features and performs flawlessly.

Evelyn Stevens : Nice well

I haven't used the reel out in the ice lakes yet...but have set it up. I seems like a really nice one, easy to use for ice fishing

Amazon Customer : As advertised, prompt delivery .. highly recommend

Bought these for my dad, and he loves them .. definitely recommend

Louie : Awesome

Awesome

Mike Donnelly : Good reel for the cost.

Good reel for the price. A little play in the instant anti reverse but pretty good. Freespool works well as does the drag. Slightly larger than a similar Pscifun reel I have on my trout / perch rod and will go on my pike/walleye rod. Happy with the reel so far.

Amanda Bressette : Serious fisherman look elsewhere

Stem broke when setting the hook... not sure if mine had a manufactures defect, but that experience has discouraged from ever buying this product again as well as never buying this style of reel again. Drag was also not able to provide suitable resistance for some of the mid-sized to larger fish I encountered. I would not recommend this product.

jonathon coggins : .

This was my third descent reel. I will probably be replacing most of the spinning reels on my ice rods with these.

Fong Vang : Five Stars

Really nice and smooth

Claude : good quality

the only thing is it looks small. I'll find out when we get some ice.

jason badger : Great reel

Love this reel drops small jig twice as fast as spinning rod and you dont get line twist

Amanda Bressette : Serious fisherman look elsewhere

Ethan : Great budget reel

This reel is great for filling your rod tube. I recommend getting better for ur more used combos but other than that it is a very solid reel.

Rudy : Sweet reel

This is my first inline reel, and I’m lovin it????????
I only ever use spinning reels all year round, but for ice fishing season this year I thought I’d switch it up.
I love the free fall release on this reel
And I also love how straight the line comes off the reel, no more watching fishing line coils going down my hole????????
I highly recommend an inline reel for ice fishing.
The descent and eagle claw are both good inexpensive reels, I’m a right handed and love that 13 fishing made a right handed model at this price point????????
Enough reviewing, I’m heading out to catch me some fish????

deputy886 : Great for Minnesota ice fishing!

This was a great ice fishing reel. Great quality and would purchase again.

Amazon Customer : Terrible

Completely sucks.Worst inline reel ever. Even after switching to 4lb test from 6lb, still did not feed very well. Maybe it came broken?! If there is a list of the worst things you can buy from Amazon.. this should be thee unanimous #1. #InTheTrash

Randy : Missed the mark

Unfortunately, the drag system on the reel is not on par with price comparisons. Other than that, it does its job on smaller pan fish.

Joseph B Rex : Five Stars

One of the best inline reels money can buy. The frabill 3.71 is the best overall.

Amazon Customer : As advertised, prompt delivery .. highly recommend

Bought these for my dad, and he loves them .. definitely recommend

Mario michon : de bonne qualité pour le prix.

Très satisfait du produit frein efficace et doux parfait pour le doré.

Michael Klieforth : Sent Spinning Reels

I was sent spinning reels and not inline reels. Completely different from the description!

Amazon Customer : As advertised, prompt delivery .. highly recommend

Bought these for my dad, and he loves them .. definitely recommend

Tony T. : Poor drag by design; works OK for small trout/panfish

These inline reels have a long way to go before serious fisherman start using them. The handle and cranking gears seem smooth enough for the price point and the idea of the inline reel has its merits for many applications and species of fish. The 2.7:1 gear ration is acceptable for bringing in big fish but you do run the risk of slack line if you can't keep up with a fish turning direction and swimming towards you. I had a 34" Lake Trout and several smaller ones do this. Normally my spinning reels help me keep up but I was not able to keep up on the inline reel. Where this particular reel (and nearly all brands/models on the market) fail is in the drag system. The drag is terrible. Just awful. Super jumpy and the star drag may auto-loosen when set at moderate or light drag levels. Use your money on a cheap spinning reel.

David W. : Not sure I would buy again

The reel is super smooth and works as described but the drag is hard to get tight enough to fight big walleye.

Louie : Awesome

Awesome

Dave M : Pretty good reel with one caveat

These reels are smooth and feel good in the hand. I bought several of these to put on my ice rods. They are a great addition to my arsenal. I have one caveat to this that is a little bit of a drawback. If you palm the reel while ice fishing the heat from your hand combined with the cold outdoors creates some condensation in the reel. On a couple of occasions I have had this condensation freeze inside the reel. This makes the anti-reverse stop working and the reel will free-spool. When this happens I put the rod in the roof of my shanty to warm up and the condensation clears within a short time.

GrantKOP4life : Works

Works ok. The drag is either on or off

Amazon Customer : Beware of the backlash

Quick release is awesome when you need to take care of a backlash

Andriy lyubimov : 75% of the product has defect

Ordered two reels one came not working set the replacement and guess what came with defects need send them back again so from four reels three of them defective not recommended buying online need a to be checked before you pay

Randy : Not what was advertised

No where what was describe on display

Mr. N : Wicked reel!

love this reel, my son has one, so I had to have one, great product, well built!
