I purchased three of these rods and had the opportunity to test them fishing on Diamond Lake here in Oregon this last week. Our party of three each used one of these sensitive to detecting the bite rods and all caught some nice trout. We had some fish over twenty inches long and the rods performed very well with these large trout sawing around the bottom of the hole befroe finally being slipped out on the ice. The rod tips let's you see the most sensitive bump wether using bait or lures and yet have the backbone to put the screws to larger fish when setting the hook. The reel handle bands are simple yet allow you to use a wide range of reel types for whatever is your style.

I bought two of these rods recently.  Of course, the streams don't ice over in central Alabama where I live, but these rods have proven very effective in vertical jigging from my bass boat.  I target yellow perch, crappie, white bass, bluegills and Alabama (spotted) bass in water depths of 4 to 50+ feet.  The action is "light" - the parabolic action, 48" rod doesn't have an ultra sensitive, really fine tip, but for the relatively heavy (1/12 oz. or heavier) lures required when fishing from a boat in wind or current, that is a perfect action.  Furthermore, the bright orange tip helps in detecting strikes.  With 2- or 4-lb. test superline having a very low stretch (Nanofil, for example), these rods are hard to beat.  I know the 4-foot ice fishing rods were designed for hole hopping on the ice, but they work well for deep or shallow vertical jigging from a boat.  Even in a moderate wind, a 3- or 4-foot rod is about the mininum you want when fishing out of a boat, because it's just too hard to keep the line away from the boat or the trolling motor with a really short rod.  On a still day, however, a shorter ice fishing rod or a rod with an ultralight tip can be used if desired.  One of my 48-inch HT Supe Flex rods is rigged with an a long flat HT spring bobber, which is fairly stiff but adjustable, and I really like this combination.  The additional 4 or 5 inches of length provided by the spring provides greatly enhanced visual indications when a light-biting fish is nipping at the lure.  On a day when there is little wind, it is possible to fish very light lures such as those used by ice fisherman from a boat.  I have more expensive ice fishing rods in my arsenal, but the HT rods are a tremendous bargain, and I've caught a ton of fish with them.  I have read some reviews where the slip ring reel seats received negative ratings, but I don't find them objectionable at all.  The HT Ice Blue rods are great.

I bought these rods to fill in between my 2 foot and 3 foot rods . Much to my supprise i like the 30 inch rod more than either of the others . I have used them for everything fron Blue Gills to Steel Heads and they have performed great . For me , the perfect rod for the ice .      Thank you                      Ben

I bought 2 of these rods from this site to replace my 3 year old ice blue super flex rods.  My line was starting to fray due to the last rod eye being "grooved" from fishing line.   Very sensitive rod that is my go to panfish rod.  FYI    I have use these rods for quite a few years.  The first one of thes rods I had I snapped the rod tip on due to having the jig hooked in one of the lower rod guides.  During transport and vibrating my reel managed to crank to the point of snapping my rod, so loosen your drag on the reel or don't hook your jig through a guide on the rod.

I have had at least 10 of these rods and love fishing with them. I take friends out fishing and let them use them and they always ask where I got them. Needless to say I have had to purchase more because I lend them to my friends and I never see them back. It's not that I have bad friends, but rather this is a great product. They work great for perch and bluegill. I have even caught eyes and pike and the rod handle awesome.

My grandson and I use these for trout fishing in smaller mountain streams and creeks.  Over Labor Day weekend, my grandson caught a 4.5 pound, 22 inch rainbow trout on a 48" ice rod and 6 pound test on the reel.  No trout bite is too small to go undetected with these rods.  Also, makes a great little blue gill rod.  At the price of these rods, I keep at least 4 of them on-hand at all times.  Love them!
