Favorite Ice rod/reel combo

WLYHNTR · Aug 14, 2015

All this heat has got me hoping for fall to come early and then some ice to get made. What's everyones favorite rod/reel combo? Been looking at picking up a new st. Croix rod/reel combo.

Thorne bros perch and walleye sweetheart or TUCR precision. Paired with a Shimano Sienna 500FD. You see me with something else in my hand it was most likely free. Or I've had to many Lord waters.

that's to much money for an Ice rod I stick to my HT rod and reels

I contacted St. Croix and was able to get a few rod blanks. I built an ultra light for bluegill and perch and still have 2 medium weight rods to build. I absolutely love that ultra light paired with a shimano sienna 500 for bluegill and perch. My favorite walleye rod was a northland rod I had but ended up breaking last winter.

Now u have me wanting to build rods with them other St.Croix blanks.

Might have to leave my debit card at home now. I have way too much time to look at mudhole while I'm grain carting

TB Perch sweetheart for 1/16 and 1/8 oz spoons. TB Walleye sweetheart for bigger lures. I have a DH Al Dente that I really like for panfish.

You guys should really try a tuned up customs. The precision and power precision are fantastic perch and walleye rods. The Eva foam handles are fantastic as well. Don't get me wrong, I like my TB rods but they collected some dust last year.

Thorne Brothers Perch Sweetheart with a Pflueger President spinning reel. Perfect walleye/perch combo and definitely worth the price. If I could get back the money from every el-cheapo ice rod I'd bought, I'd be able to buy a few more TBs!
