If anyone else has the same issue with these reels, please contact me. I can get you instructions to reverse the one way clutch. Another ice addict gave me the proper instruction to do it myself in about 5 minutes.
The reels are no longer for sale.

You are looking at the wrong reel. You looked up the Black Betty by 13 fishing. I am selling a Black Betty 6061 by 13 fishing. If you copy and paste the following, it should take you to an image and better description at Reeds Sporting Goods: 13 Fishing Black Betty CNC 6061 Ice Reel - BB6061. Fish USA site says the are out of stock until October. When I googled 6061 Black Betty, I was able to find them at 2 or 3 shops, one of which was fish usa. I preordered 2. A couple of days later I tried the same search and fish usa didn't come up any more, because they had "pre-sold" all of the reels that they were alloted. The 6061 BB is a limited production model this year, with something like 200-350 of them being released this year. I don't knkow why they would make two different reels and give them almost the exact same name.
I have been informed that by taking the reel apart and switching a disk around that it will crank in the propper direction, so I will try this with the opened package tonight and see just what a pain in the butt it will be. If it isn't a big problem, I will go ahead and do it to the other reel and keep both of them.
I am anxious to try them out, they should work great on deeper water and eliminate most if not all line twist associated with spinning reels.

If anyone wanted the NEW Black Betty 6061 reel and didn't get one, I have two for sale. They came via FedEx yesterday(12/7/2012). One of the reels is still in the packaging, the other I took out and spun the reel and pressed the free spool. I use reels that wind on the right side, or that can be switched to right side. True, one could flip the reel 180 degrees and the handle would be on the right side, but I would have to wind in the line backwards. Not going to work for me. I am selling the reels for the origional price $206.85. If interested call or txt 4192345220. If there is no interest by 12/16, I will try to send them back. I preordered them from Fish USA.

I will be fishing the Midwest Open on Devils Lake Mi. With the warm weather I have yet to fish this lake, i am looking for someone that will help me locate fish and share advice on crappie fishing. The tourny is a bluegill/crappie tourny. Two years ago my wife and I fished it at Wamplers Lake, but I had plenty of time to prefish. I also was able to hook up with some guys from Ohio to prefish it with.
I am a swing shift worker, so I will be taking some trips during the week as well as on the weekends.
If anyone is interested in fishing with me send me a PM, Garett.

I went out on Friday, I took off at Miller Dock, I walked toward South Bass. I got to the shove ice at Mouse and had to turn around. The ice on the other side had about 10 inches of slush on top of it. After a quick lunch, a couple of friends and I went off of the State park, no luck. The ice west of the state park was close to 2' thick. Saturday, we walked out off of Pebble, and finally made it to where I wanted to go. There are a lot of places along the way where there is thin ice and slushy spots. One of the spots along the way have 3-4" of ice, so if you are on a quad or sled be sure to be careful, I would not recommend taking a straight shot to the pack of shanties it is better to go east a bit before you cut back. Maybe even go off of Mazurics.
By the end of the day three of us ended up with 3 eyes one of which was close to 10# another was 7ish, we also had about 45 perch. It was a great trip not so sure it was worth the walk though, but we did have some luck.

I will be up there 1/28-30 with a few buddies, maroon Yukon. It would be great to meet some IFO guys. I have made several friends that I fish with today by meeting on the ice, through other forums.

I talked to a buddy today that helps a guide out up there, they fished yesterday and did OK, but today had reports of water on the ice and quickly deteriorating conditions, he strongly advised against going out. Just be patient, it's not far off.

I fished Wed. night at Blackhawk, from 8pm til 12am, not one bite. I had several nice marks on the lx5 but no takers. I had the whole lake to myself. I stopped at all of the popular spots and didn't see one other vehicle. Probably my last night fishing trip.

Lets not bash OGF, it has been a great source of info for me, and I have given a great deal of it myself. I would recommend following some of Jim Stedke's winter topics, he is a personal friend and will almost always tell everyone all of the details, as well as go out on your boat with you and teach you how to best use your equipment to catch the big ones. Sorry for the rant, but I just hate to see another site get bashed. What you also have to realize is that a lot of these guys are charter captains, and rely on some secrecy to put money in their pockets. I'm done now, thanks.
