Favourite Walleye Ice Rod....

[mcallister.grant]

I am just trying to get everyone's opinion on their go to walleye ice rod. I am an avid user of med/light action but I am interested in seeing what you all have to say.

 

Thanks

Nothing like a stick in shallow water.

It all depends on the person and what you get used to. Some use light. Some use a stick. I've seen both work equally well.

How'd your trip go last weekend?

I use a medium st.croix 30" for everything from lakers, pike, walleye and perch, love the thing, it's pulled in 20lbs pike no problem and sensitive enough for perch, perfect for walleye. I find ice rods vary a lot though, one medium is another brands heavy or light so it comes down to quality just like any other. I think the st croix I got is IM8 graphite just like a regular rod it's amazing how strong and sensitive they are for the size, so I say just spend a little more and get high quality, I think it cost around $35 each for them so it's still cheap for a top quality ice rod.

I like a stick, no fuss, no mess, no misses... well if you are ready, no misses.. good solid set, and doesn't freeze up, i have some rods, but went bact to the stick this year and i like it, just my opinion for what it is worth, everyone has thier favourites.

ialso have a 30"med st.croix that i use for 'eyes.

when using finesse tactics or during a light bite, i use a st. croix 28"ml.

they are both pretty good all around rods
