There are a lot of different types of ice fishing reels on the market these days. Inline reels are one type of reel that is becoming increasingly popular with ice anglers. There are a few reasons why inline reels are often seen as being better for ice fishing than other types of reels. Inline reels tend to be very light and compact, which makes them easy to carry around and use on the ice. They are also very easy to set up and use, which is important when you’re trying to fish in cold conditions. Another
Longer ice rods have many advantages over shorter ice rods. They are more sensitive, have more backbone and can handle larger fish. They are also great for fishing in deep water and in large lakes.
There is a lot of debate among anglers about whether shorter fishing rods are more sensitive. Some say that shorter rods are better for feeling the bite, while others say that longer rods give you more leverage when fighting a fish. There is no right or wrong answer, it just depends on what you are looking for in a fishing rod. If you are trying to feel the bite more, then a shorter rod might be a better choice. If you want more leverage when fighting a fish, then a longer rod would be a better choice. It really just comes down to personal preference.
You can, but it's not recommended. Regular reels are designed for use in open water, not under the ice. Ice fishing reels are designed to be used in cold weather and can withstand the elements better.

Excellent for varied species and size ice fishing. For the most of its length, it is fairly stiff, but as it approaches the tip, the stiffness quickly decreases. If I dance lightly, I can feel the bottom well. The tape on reel seat is my favourite because it allows me to position the reel with sensitivity and flexibility without feeling like I'm handling a lot of hardware.

A little stiffer in the tip than anticipated, but nice rod all around. gorgeous construction more force than is required to set the hook on fish under one pound. In comparison to the majority of other rods, this is more like a medium. With this rod, I was able to put the hook on a kokanee at a depth of almost 140' when I felt the bite.

My second one is this one. This rod is flexible at the tip and has a strong backbone. You'll experience numerous tugs and nibbles without worrying about dropping a significant one. You won't feel like you're carrying a boat oar under your arm the entire day because of how light it is. I travel with it on offshore charters and party boats. The 7' spinner rod is really stiff. I have no trouble handling big striped bass and tog/blackfish in my area. I switch out the 7' with a Daiwa 50W baitcaster and a 40 spin reel. Black sea bass, porgies, and blackfish are all excellent targets for my 6' rod. I was on a fishing trip with a gentleman who managed to catch just one fish, but when he attempted to hook set and went vertical, he destroyed his $200 St. Croix rod. rookie error. My rod caught nine blackfish weighing over four pounds and one seven-pounder that is still alive today! going to purchase another.

fantastic value for the money. I've used mine on my IFish Pro along with a dead stick rod, an Okuma ABF20 baitfeeder reel, and jigging Rippin Raps, Jigs, various spoons, etc. It doesn't have that type of sensitivity in a high end graphite rod, which is why it only gets 4 stars. Although I do have some more expensive TUCRs, I don't think you need them for every purpose. This 36" Elite Tech fills that need.

In the latter part of 2018, I bought two of the medium action ice rods, and I utilized them in Montana to catch large fish. They performed just as good as any more expensive rod I had, even my Shimano ice rods. I added two more this past week (10/2019) to complete my ice fishing collection.I have four of these 30" rods, which I use with the Jaw Jacker automatic hook setting equipment. They have an action that provides me plenty of power on the biggest trout I catch and are sturdy enough to withstand a lot of damage while yet being lightweight.The reason I gave this most recent purchase only four stars is because the rods' spines, which naturally incline graphite rods to bend in a particular arc, aren't aligned with the guides, which causes the rods to roll under stress and push the guides to one side. Although it hasn't been a problem when landing fish, it suggests that the rods' manufacturers didn't assemble them with the utmost care.They wear good and battle well, as I said. Simply said, I'm a stickler for details. Since I returned to buy more of these less-than-ideal, but more than acceptable rods, it might be argued that I'm more cost-conscious than a stickler.

High Performance - Stainless steel mixed with ceramic guide makes it more smooth, aviods line stucking in the guides, minimize friction for smooth, long casts, while also enhancing sensitivity by transferring vibrations from the line through the guide to the rod and to your hand. The guides are precisely aligned, along the bottom of the spine of the blank which is perfectly straight and true.
Excellent Design - Precise data calculation and the perfect combination of performance presents a cost-effective pole.
Extreme Exposure Reel Seat - Wheel seat with stainless steel tapered hood transitions above and below reel seat protecting cap.
Non Slip Rubber Shrink Tube Handle - Non slip rubber shrink tube handle with tapered rear grip Tip over butt ferrule connection for maximum strength and durability Machined tapered hood transitions above and below.
Sensitive and Solid Carbon Fiber Construction - Carbon construction for improved performance-action and increased sensitivity. The rod delivers the extraordinary toughness of solid carbon fiber construction and precisely tuned action for boat fishing.

The 3-piece 9' version of this rod that I own is a great rod. However, this 4-piece, 11-foot version is either flawed or subpar for its lure weight class.The rod was delivered on July 3rd, just in time for the Fourth of July, and I used it every day, with different weights ranging from 2 to 4 ounces, until July 12th.As the tip was casting a 3-ounce weight, it broke (see photos). The 2–6 ounce lure rating on this 11' rod. Therefore, it's possible that I wasted my money on a bad rod OR that the rod is actually incapable of supporting the weight it is designed to. A KastKing Sharky III 4000 spinner with 30lb braid was used with the rod.I WILL RESUME A NEW REVIEW ON A FUNCTIONAL ROD THAT WORKS IF THE SELLER CONTACTS ME TO SET THINGS RIGHT.Based on how much I used the 9' version, I was quite eager to get this rod. Such a shame that this 11' version actually failed.Update:s7/16 The vendor has sent out a replacement. Will wait until the replacement arrives before testing the new rod.Update:s8/10 replacement rod arrived two days after shipment. Since then, I've had no issues using the new rod with weights up to 4 oz on an 8000 spinner. I still don't use it as frequently as I did with the first rod. But thus far, everything is well. The rating has been changed from 1 star to 4 stars. A BIG THANK YOU to the seller for sending a replacement at no extra cost.

Can't wait to give it a go once the Ice is back. The rod appears to be quite reliable and strong. A highly smooth rod was produced by the material and manufacturing process. The reel mounting site and eyes are in perfect alignment, and it works well with reels of all sizes. There is also good balance. An ugly stick is a safe bet.

First impressions after checking and unwrapping the package were, "Whoa!" Well done. Although I don't do much fishing, I am familiar with production, engineering, and the finer points that distinguish high-quality products from those that are merely attractive copies. Everything was above and beyond my expectations; it absolutely astounded me. ten bucks or less? For four times as much money, I would not have anticipated this degree of overall build. Although I haven't cast a line yet, I felt compelled to offer my view about the materials and superb fit and finish because I think they merit praise on their own.What's all the fuss about?The carbon tube was made in a dedicated facility with all the necessary autoclaves and specialist equipment, and it is very high quality woven carbon very low void tubing. I'd fly in an aircraft constructed of it... it's a wonderfully done carbon tube. The sections are capped off with well-crafted robust guides. The eyelet supports are solid and appear to have been hand-soldered or brazed to the tube collar very neatly and without any obvious flaws. They have a chrome finish, and the line eyelets look to be made of a brass alloy that has been finished with a hard abrasion-resistant surface coating such as titanium nitride (titanium nitride pvd coatings are the gold surface finish on drill bits and lifetime finish on polished brass door lock hardware, which is harder than woodpecker lips). The edges have been polished to a smooth radius. The main tube is hollow and made of stainless steel or steel that has been chrome-plated. The handle area has a thin rubber coating with a nice tactile feel and texture, and pvd coated caps are at each end of the grip area. The end cap is threaded with a beautifully machined, lightly knurled endcap that unscrews to reveal a small storage space inside, where you could conceal a capsule with hooks, swivels, and split shot as backup tackle. The reel mounting lugs are made of either beautifully finished MIM type stainless steel or machined stainless steel. It appears to be extremely well made and made of high quality materials with an emphasis on good fit and finish. Whatever the chemistry, it is undoubtedly darker and I suspect of a different alloy. smooth beadblast satin finish on them with 2 locking nuts to hold the reel mounting shoe in place and prevent it from working loose My preliminary observation of the action is that it is very unyielding until the last couple sections, after which the tubes get much tinner and more flexible. As for the rod's functionality, I still need to setup and test it out with a few reels and some different types and weight lines. I would have purchased this simply as a parts donor to repair existing rods if they needed it for ten to twenty dollars depending on size. Once I've used them for a while in the real world, I'll post an after-action report to summarize, but for now, I'm of the opinion that there are far worse things you could do with ten dollars, and that this specific set of rods might be worth a go.
You can use a fly reel for ice fishing, but you will need to make sure that you have the proper line and lures for the conditions. The reel will need to be able to hold the line and lures securely, and you will need to be careful when casting so that you don't break the ice.
If you're serious about ice fishing, you need a rod specifically designed for the sport. That means a shorter, more sensitive rod with a smaller guide size. Ice fishing rods are also designed to handle smaller, lighter lures. All of this adds up to better success on the ice.
Most ice anglers use some type of sinker or weight to get their lures down to the fish. The size and type of sinker you use depends on the depth of the water, the type of bottom, and how fast you want your lure to fall. In general, the heavier the sinker, the faster your lure will sink.
There are a few different types of ice reels, and the best one for you will depend on what type of fish you're targeting and how deep the water is. If you're fishing in shallow water, a spincast reel or an open-faced reel will work well. These types of reels are easy to use and don't require a lot of experience to operate. If you're fishing in deeper water, however, you'll need a baitcasting reel or a spinning reel. Baitcasting reels are more difficult to use, but they allow you to cast your line
When measuring for an ice fishing rod, you need to consider the length of the rod, the weight of the rod, and the type of fish you plan on catching. The length of the rod will determine how much line you can put out, and the weight of the rod will determine how much weight you can put on the line. The type of fish you plan on catching will also play a role in determining the size of the rod.
Yes, there is a difference between ice fishing line and regular line. Ice fishing line is designed to be more flexible in order to withstand the cold temperatures. It is also designed to be less visible in the water.
