Designed by ice anglers who know the grind of overnight bites, the Northern Lights Rattle Reel takes a proven ice fishing staple and pushes it to the next level. Built in Minnesota and engineered for real-world fish house use, this patented rattle reel combines reliable bite detection with high-visibility illumination you won’t miss—even in total darkness.
Using integrated UV LED technology, the reel activates its patented fluorescent acrylic housing to produce a bold neon glow that lights up your line and hook area while casting an eye-catching glow inside your fish house. When a fish hits, you get instant visual confirmation paired with an audible alert from the internal bell, so there’s no second guessing which rod is getting action in the middle of the night.
One of the biggest advantages? You can monitor bites without turning on house lights, helping you stay stealthy and rest easy while still keeping tabs on your setup.Â
