Slater Pee Wee Reel

The Slater Pee Wee Reel is a compact, lightweight option built for crappie, bluegill, and other panfish—whether you're working summer brush piles or cutting holes through winter ice. At just 3 ounces, it won't fatigue your hand during long sessions, and the 3.6:1 gear ratio delivers steady, controlled retrieves suited to the subtle presentations panfish demand. This is a no-nonsense reel that does one thing well: get your bait or small lure where it needs to go without unnecessary weight or complexity.

Setup and adjustment are straightforward. The easy line-length adjustment lets you dial in your target depth or distance in seconds—crucial when you're moving between holes or switching presentations throughout the day. The included bait clicker alerts you to strikes without constant visual attention, freeing you to manage multiple lines (where legal) or simply relax between bites. Right or left-hand retrieve options accommodate both southpaws and right-handers, so anyone in your boat or blind can use it comfortably.

Built in the USA and finished in classic black, the Pee Wee Reel includes tension control for fine-tuning drag pressure and an anti-reverse lever to lock the spool when you need a solid hookset. With 50 yards of line capacity, you have enough for panfishing in most freshwater situations—ponds, lakes, creeks, and ice-out scenarios where distance isn't a priority. This is the reel serious crappie anglers and ice fishermen reach for when they want reliability without bulk.

What features help me detect bites?
