Ice rods are short and sensitive. Shorter rods (22" to 26") suit shacks and sight-fishing panfish, while 28" to 32" rods give more hook-setting leverage for perch and walleye. Combos come with the reel matched and ready to spool.
How to choose
- Panfish: ultralight, 24" to 28", 2 to 4 lb line.
- Perch and walleye: light to medium, 28" to 32", 4 to 8 lb line.
- In a shack: a shorter rod keeps you close to the hole.
