Guest Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I got a look at some Shakespeare rods this morning. Not bad. The Black Ice series looks decent. The 30-inch medium action was only $10 and for that price you are getting a really good rod. There was also a light action along with a few others to choose from, all were the same price. Another option for those on a tight budget. Good Fishin,Matt [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I can't forget mentioning custom rod options. And in particular rods made by Rods by Engel. By the way folks, Rod, he is the Dad of our very own fellow FM regular & contributor, Scoot. Rod has made me custom ice rods and some special use summer rods from time to time. Fine work at a very reasonable rate.I cherish them all, every one a real joy to use. A very well made product from start to finish. He can make what you need to order, just the way you want it. ------------------BACKWATER GUIDING701-281-2300[email protected]><,sUMo,> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Does anyone use the angled handle jigging rods? I mostly use South Bend and just bought a couple XXX XXX ultra lites this year cant wait to try them out.For reels I use South Bend and Daiwa.Not the most expensive set ups but they catch em and thats what counts.------------------I don't drive fast, I fly low.

Northlander Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Im with Eddy on this one. Rod does a great job with his rods. Nice craftsmanship and its just the way ya asked for it when it arrives. Nicely priced too. I have Genz rods and the ones with the bigger eyes are nice. Dont buy older ones with small eyes that still may be on somebodys shelves. I also like St.Croixs rods. Nice and light and great actions. Anyone seen the new Rapala ice rods? I would like to check them out. I really like their new open water rods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilli7122 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 so far the best ice rods I have used are st. croix avids. The Yads are decent. I think the Genz rods are overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
