I have started making custom hand wrapped rods, and have a few ice rods for sale. These rods are ideal for both perch and panfish. If a perch starts to think about hitting your Jenson egg, youll know it before he even inhales, the same goes for gills and crappies, they even sneeze on your spike, and you'll know he's there!!!!

I have given several of these away to friends to try out, and I get the same comments from all of them. They (and I) all agreed that these are the lightest, compact, most sensitive rods that any of us have ever used. They are 16" long, weigh about 3 ounces, strong, and the best part is that you could put 10 of these rods in your 5 gallon bucket, each with a different lure, have every color and shape covered, and still have room for the days catch!!!!! I will also be willing to make "custom" rods of different colors that might be more to your liking. Heres a couple of pics so you can get the general idea.......


I wish I had a picture of the "Superman Rod"(daughters description) that I made. It had blue underwrap, red overwraps, and I powder coated the line winders and the guides in a chartruse yellow. That rod looked great. I can powder coat the winders and guides almost any color you want. I am asking $20.00 each, or 2 for $30.00. If anybody is interested, let me know....... - See More Here: http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2831

Yes Whale and Skulldugary, they are made out of carbon/graphite arrow shafts. I have experimented with quite a few different makes of shafts, rangeing in price from $4.00 to $14.00 and have found these to be the strongest and most sensitive. Any other questions, please feel free to ask!!!:D
