13 FISHING THE SNITCH/DESCENT ICE COMBO
13 Fishing Snitch Descent Inline Combo (The "Tune-Up" Edition)
The Snitch Descent is the combo that defined the modern inline movement, and this updated version doubles down on that legacy. While other brands try to overcomplicate things, 13 Fishing has focused on "doing the basics exceptionally well" tightening tolerances in the reel and refining the rod's taper to ensure it remains the benchmark for inline performance.
The Reel: The Descent Inline:
- The Descent is a "finesse-first" tool designed to eliminate the #1 enemy of ice fishing: line twist. Because the line feeds straight off the spool (like a fly reel), your tiny jigs won't spin in circles, leading to a much more natural presentation that doesn't spook wary fish.
- Tighter Tolerances: The "tune-up" refers to a more precise fit between the spool and the frame, reducing the chance of thin diameter lines (like 2lb or 3lb ice flouro) getting caught behind the spool.
- Integrated Fender: This allows you to use a "pencil grip" (holding the rod like a pen) without your fingers accidentally touching the spool and stalling your drop.
- Drop Speed Control: A dedicated dial allows you to adjust how fast your jig falls. This is crucial for "speed-dropping" tiny tungsten jigs back down to a school of fish before they move on.
- Dead Stick Spool Clicker: An underrated feature for "set it and forget it" fishing; it alerts you with an audible click when a fish is taking line.
