Same reel spinning and ice IMHO all ice all reels do is complement the small ice rod. A 10 lbs reel is kind bulky on a 3 foot rod but Ive done it many many time before. In reality there just ultra light reels and for the most part are cheep reels at that.
The one thing I see allot on ice reels are the spools are made from plastic I dont know if this is suppose to keep the line from sticking to the spool or if it just to keep the cost down but not a big fan of plastic spools.
Any how, I have rods that came with ice reels ( St Coix, Frabill, & HT, ) use them on my float tube in the summer.
Oh and a few companies only Frabill comes to mind that make ice reels in the fly reel form for ice fishing
