Have you tried the Shimano reel that has this option? It's got a rear drag system and the switch. I love rear drag reels!
It's awesome that you try to comment back as much as possible. It's much appreciated thank you.
I have the Ceymar 1000 abf its the shit.. I heard only major difference between the 500s is spool size
Have you tested the okuma trio bf40 compared to the avenger. Was it just price? I have the trio 40 and was thinking of getting the trio bf30 for ice fishing.
I ran across abf 1000.an couldn't pass it up.hope to use it this winter.dead sticking for med size fish.haven't decided what rod to use with it.good luck to all this ice season.thx for this video.
Thanks for the review! I purchased an I-fish pro for this season, and the 1000 looks like the right reel for walleye and pike.
I can't wait for ice fishing season and video reviews of ice-fishing gear is giving me the itch. You put me on the TUCR Bullwhip by the way, good call on those rods.
When are you going to do another live ice fishing video?? We went back and forth a bunch last year and I want another Q & A!!
The1000 adds a little size for fishing outside in the cold while wearing gloves, mittens, etc.. All around easier to fish with in my opinion
I use a 1000 size for all my ice rods..and my panfish open water rods. It's a good size all around.
500's for sure for me. 1000's feel too heavy on 95 percent of the rods I use for ice fishing.
I love the okuma avenger series. I have several and also have an avengerabf 5000. I have been looking at the abf 1000 just havnt pulled the trigger yet. Thanks for the review
I picked up the 500 series at the end of last year at a sports show and hope to us it on Red Lake this winter I like the smaller size myself!
