I have gone to 1000 series Shimano reels rather than 750 series - wider spool and bigger handle makes a big difference.

No need for so called ul reels. Stick with standard sizes. Two important benefits are: #1- easier casting #2-- longer casting distance The reel ul fun is the rod and the light line. You can fill the larger spool with bargain line and top off with 50 yds of good stuff.

Check out some of the reels made specifically for ice fishing, they usually make them with a longer stem to fit better on gloved hands.

Was just wishing for some adult size UL reels. Quality has come a long ways ! Lets see, my first Ul spin reel I can remember was a green 'lil Heddon I believe. Got a lot of use outta a brace of Quantum Snapshots over the last couple decades. Ceramic finger/trigger good with gloves and braid lines. Just picked up a couple new Gndr Mtn Tournament reels, 10 ball bearings ! Like a fine Swiss watch. STILL wish stem was, oh, about a hlaf inch or so longer. steve b
