If anyone is looking for a very good ice rod may I suggest a new rod manufacturer called SIMAX rods. I was lucky enough to get a sponsorhip deal with them for this up coming year. I got my hands on some of their ice rods recently and all I can say is WOW. They retail for 30 bucks and come in 4 different actions. Med,Med/heavy,Med/light, and Light. I took them out with me on simcoe for a test run and amazing. They also have 3 different lines of spinning and casting rods also amazing. If youhave any questions drop me a line.
