The FishUSA Flagship Ice Rod series launched our FishUSA fishing rods, and this hardwater series is a comprehensive set of ice fishing rods in ultralight and medium powers, ranging from a hard-to-find super ultralight 27-inch stick to a 46-inch light power, long ice rod. All Flagship Ice Rods feature an elegant dark blue metallic finish and orange hi-viz tips with a red accent.
A 24-ton super-sensitive and powerful graphite blank is the foundation for these FishUSA ice rods with reel seats made from amalgamated cork for comfort and durability. Speaking of staying power, we don't cheap out on the heavy-duty reel seat rings to hold your reel firmly to the beveled handle. We use stainless steel guides (select models feature the Sea·Guide brand) and didn't forget the hook keeper. Please read on for more about the FishUSA Flagship Ice Rod series!

Flagship Series Ice Rods:
- 27 in. Super Ultralight – The hard-to-find SUL option is perfect for small to medium ice jigs. It detects the slightest bites with the strength to handle large panfish easily. SUL action also prevents tearing a hook through paper-thin mouths of crappie and other panfish. The split grip reel seat was designed for a perfect ergonomic fit when fishing the rod in the “pistol grip position” with a spinning or inline reel. This rod features heavy-duty fly rod guides to allow for enhanced durability.
- 27 in. Ultralight – Must-have for jigs and smaller jigging lures, an excellent choice for a multi-purpose panfish ice rod. UL action also prevents tearing a hook through paper-thin mouths. Like the super ultralight and light models, this rod is super comfortable in the hand and is built with high-quality components. The advantage of this model over the super ultralight model is that you can fish a little heavier jig. If the fish are more aggressive, this model will provide more backbone for your hookset.
- 28 in. Medium Light – Ideal for larger jigging spoons and other jigging baits, giving you more control over the lure action while allowing for a better hookset. Using a spinning reel with this rod is recommended, as you will have more control when jigging your lures. This rod features stainless steel guides – perfect for any ice fishing line.
- 30 in. Light – Great option when jigging for larger fish and using a variety of lures, such as large jigs, spoons, and hard baits, perfect for a live bait presentation. Like all of our super ultralight and light models, this rod will fit comfortably in your hand and provide the backbone you need for a solid hookset.
- 32 in. Super Ultralight – Ideal for small to medium ice jigs, this rod can easily detect even the slightest bites and handle large fish. It features SUL action to prevent tearing hooks through delicate fish mouths and a split grip reel seat for a comfortable fit. Additionally, heavy-duty rod guides enhance the rod's durability.
- 36 in. Medium – Ideal for targeting larger fish in deeper water. The main advantage is consistent hooksets and optimal lure control. This is the big brother to the 28” model. This rod can handle those monster walleyes on Lake Erie, Saginaw Bay, or the Bay of Quinte.
- 46 in. Light – Like the 30-in. option, ideal for larger jigs, spoons, and hard baits. This rod was designed for the “hole hopper.” You know, the guy who likes to drill 10 holes, move from spot to spot, and not sit down. The light action allows you to detect the slightest bite, but this rod also has a significant amount of backbone for hook setting. The longer length is also great for dock fishing before and after the hardwater season.
