custom walleye ice fishing rods Thorne Brothers Rod and are made in the USA. PK Custom Ice Fishing Rods

Swim them on weedless and belly-weighted weedless hooks like shallow-divers, swim something like the Savage Gear Sandeel (watch this space) or the Westin Sandy Andy (paddletails on pointy style jig heads) in deeper water and/or rougher conditions, fish paddletails on jig heads with a sink and draw action, bump/swim weedless paddletails on jig heads (like the Black Minnow of course) along the bottom over rough ground, trundle paddletails rigged on jig heads down a strong run of current, bump paddletails on jig heads around in the surf, hell, I saw some photos last summer of some European anglers catching black/largemouth bass on the Gravity Stick Paddletail fished as a surface lure and I am going to have a crack at this for our own bass later this year in a few specific spots I have lined up

As long as I can get one to suspend the depth I need, it doesnt matter

I had always assumed heavier powered rods were distinguished from one another not just in the tip, but through the mid section to the butt end so it's intriguing to me that you can achieve this effect by simply swapping out the top third of the fishing rod

It is built for conventional casting techniques that maximize distance in surf fishing

You bump weeds, pop it, get it out of there, keep it going. For bass, target inside weedlines and clumps of weed growth on the shallow ends of flats, closer to shore

Its priced at $59.99 and performs much like many reels in the $125 to $150 price range
