I love the rod, but I hate the reel, I own the worst reel ever.
Selected User Reviews For Berkley Cherrywood Ice Fishing Spinning Combo
It seems good, but I am not too fond of the fact that the reel is not permanently attached and threaded to the rod. The use of zip ties is not something I enjoy. Furthermore, the reels are of mediocre quality. They work adequately but the line doesn't get evenly spooled across the entire surface because the spool doesn't move long enough as it feels when it is being spooled. In addition, the drag falls short, but for the price, it does everything I would expect of it. Since this is my first year ice fishing, I'm still learning what I like and don't like about it. Over all, though, the unit does its job. I think the kids will be able to use them quite well.
You can trust them. If it is not above freezing, straight up the reel is rubbish. Even if you fish in a tent, it will perform well. However, this is an exceptional rod. I find it to be the perfect combination of grip and action. It is my go-to for trout, but for perch or crappie fishing it is impressively sensitive. I rank them among the top 3 ice rods in my lineup, if not the best. Nothing wrong with Berkley either.
It was the first rod I took as soon as it arrived. that I hooked broke the tip about 3" down, a bummer to say the least, I lost the fish at the end, it isn't a keeper, but it was an experience nonetheless.
It is truly horrible to have to tighten the drag system continuously. This is the first time out of all 7 of my ice combos that it has broken over a medium sized pike. The stoppers that hold the reel onto the pole are also just plastic slide stoppers, and I have had those come Buying is not a good idea.
This reel is made from plastic and composite. It is not very durable in any way.
The three combos I purchased were all the same. Two of them had broken tips and missing eyes, while the tips and eyes on the other two were bent out of shape. I have never seen anything like it at ANY price. The reel on the 3rd wouldn't turn on.
I bought this reel for my son in order to teach him how to use it. We will be able to accomplish this.
