Default 2 new ice fishing reels - free for a deserving kid

I have 2 new (used 3 times) ice fishing reels free for any kiddo 12 years or younger. They are Berkley. Not top of the line but work fine. They hold 120 yards of 6 lbs test. I live in Beddington in Calgary. Must be accompanied by a parent to pick up.

All I ask is that whoever gets them is that they promise to shovel a needy neighbours driveway twice this winter.

PM me if you have a child that is interested and can live up to the promise.

I’ve always wondered how to give away some gear wo it ending up in someone’s hand that just flips it and sales it or could have afforded it in the first place. This is a good idea. Please post how it turns out.

No kiddo interested in two free reels? Not what I expected. I would have jumped at this as a kid. I’d post pictures of them if knew how but that seems to be a bit tech savvy for me on this site.

I’ll up the age to 17 and under then. Same rules apply as per my original post.

Alternatively, I know there’s some great folks on here that put on kids ice fishing days. If you can make use of the gear PM me.

If you want to message me your postal address I can send you a bunch of wire worms and a few others for ice fishing.
I also have a Marmish fishing system that they can have.

Very generous offer TrollGrg. I have two young brothers and their dad coming by to pick up the reels after school today.
