st croix custom ice rods St. Tundra Rod — Tackle Shack Crafted from extreme performance blanks and materials Premier Series Ice Combo –

If you want to take this route with your fishing, pick up a rod that matches the following specs: Medium power Fast action 66 to 7 depending on height Graphite blank material With that setup, youll be able to not only toss your soft-plastic lures weightless or Texas rigged with efficiency, but youll also be able to begin branching out into small to mid-sized cranks and jerk baits as you develop your skills

Push the lever with the thumb of your rod hand and speed responds instantly, proportionally, without ever taking your hand off the rod

Shy perch or walleyes can hit the baited chain hook without feeling the weight of the lure just long enough for you to set the hook

Neutral and inactive whitefish can be tempted by finesse plastics

Make sure to lift your rod tip as high as possible to set the hook when you see a bass take a hopper fly

Leech Pattern Perhaps my favorite fly for carp is a small black leech, size 10-12
