As we look into the equipment that us ice anglers use we have taken a look at some baits and size and knots to tie them onto your line with. Now we are going to take a look at the rod/reel combo's that are used for ice fishing. These are similar in fashion to the open water fishing rods/reels that are used but for the rods, size is the difference and for the reels going to a small spinning reel works the best. This season we are using the Austin Custom rods as our choice and two particular models are going to be used the most. Both of these are small 27 inch long fishing rods and being they are hand made, are very sensitive and durable. The first one is an ultra light version that flex's the whole length of the rod and we are using this for those very finicky biting fish. Where we want sensitivity and not a lot of resistance this ultra light version works very well. The other rod is the 27 inch Custom taper in the light action and this rod offers great sensitivity like no other that we have used. This version offers a very good backbone to the working section of the rod and the tip is very fast and sensitive to detect the subtlest bites. This is a great rod for letting those deep dwelling fish know who the boss is when we are out there rearing on some fish lips. Take a look at the Austin Custom Rod lineup and for the money they are a great value....http://www.lobybaits.com/index_files/Page956.htm
