Guest gbfisher Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GbayGiant Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 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.

walleyejack Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 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.
