Same here!! Hopefully one of our members can find something out!! That video is a teaser to drum up interest in the new product! It's working!! It probably will be a month or more until it hits the market! ::)

Same here!! ;D I really like that reel! I have a feeling that it will be replacing at least one, if not more spinning reels, and I would like to check out the combos. I'm afraid that they will be fairly spendy!! ::) And the list gets bigger!! ;)

Email I got from Clam:
We should have all our new items on our website by the end of August. At that time you should be able to go our website and view the fishing rods. Thank you.
I want to look at them because they look to be made of plastic, and I'm worried about plastic and cold weather! I know that it's designed for ice fishing and all, but I want to check one out before laying out my money for one!! ;)

still havent heard anything from clam. i like the looks of that black betty reel too.
I HAVE a new Black Betty reel, along with one of 13 Fishing's Wicked rods! This is NOT the Black Betty combo! I'll include the link so everyone knows what they offer. I'm impressed with the quality of their products!! That Black Betty reel is aluminum, not plastic, and is very rugged yet light!! The Wicked rod has a solid carbon blank, carbon-divide reel seat' and performace guides!! The rod I have is 25" light action! The quality is outstanding on both rod and reel and now all I need is ice!!!
