Tica Reels

[gone fishn]

I bought a tica libra reel this summer and I am really impressed with it. I would like to get another one. So,what I was wondering was if anyone has one and do you like it? Will it last awhile or is the ten ball bearing thing just for show? Also do they make an ultra light for ice fishing. Thanks for any replies.

I baught one at cabela's this year seemed ok at first. after using it a few times I discovered that the plastic body flexes too much I've had problems with the line not spooling on the reel but on the drag sometimes and I think that the body flex is making the parts go bad or getting them out of alighnment(not as smooth anymore), maybee some chinees guy forgot a washer or something. but I have seen ultralight TICA reels at gander moutain and some tackle shops.
