They dont make them anymore but I work for Rapala and know Fleet Farm recently bought a bunch of rods Rapala discontinued. Not sure whether ice rods were in that bundle or not.

Otherwise I would say smaller low traffic stores, or baitshops would be a good place to look for older rods.

ok thank you. i will have to check a couple of fleet farms and the local stores. hope i can find 1 or 2. do you know why they discontinued the rods? they were so nice.

i love the mans mall. (fleet farm)

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Im guessing it just wasnt as profitable as they had hoped for. Their are lots of well known reputable companies already out there selling rods and reels. I think they decided they would leave the rods and reels to the guys already doing it and they would put all their energy into lures. Though, I know the Canadian division of Rapala is still selling rods and reels. Maybe someday well see them again here in the US.

That's too bad, Rapala made some darn nice rods and reels.
