i can relate on buying 6, i almost bought the same reel, what helped me choose was the greater length on the handle mount. i will try it out and if happy i will get another, i ll let you guys know if it works nice...

I've been wanting the same combo. I'd say let me know how you like it, but I might already have one by the time you get to check it out.

I picked up my black betty combo today. It's a 27" UL with the black betty reel. The rod has a nice quick tip, but still has some good back bone. Last year I picked up an UL combo from frabil, but it has almost no back bone at all. I also picked up some sufix 832 ice braid. I think the line is new this year. I love the 832 braid on my open water setups, so I hope it's just as good on the ice.
