Better than any expensive panfish rig I've ever used. If you fish for panfish through the ice, I would highly recommend owning at least one... I have three.
I have much more expensive rods and reels for ice fishing, but for pan fish, these rods are perfect. The smallest lift or drop is signaled and the reel is simple, yet effective to bring in the fish. This combo will be hard to beat for the price. I have used them for many years and highly recommend them.
