Asseri Caster Plus is a compact winter spinning rod built for ice fishing, supplied with an integrated bite indicator. With a length of 70 cm and a casting weight of 3-30 g, it is designed for short, accurate presentations through the ice, where a short rod is easier to control inside a shelter or when fishing close to the hole.

The handle is made from cork, a traditional rod-building material that offers a warm, secure grip in cold conditions and keeps the overall weight of the rod low. A comfortable handle matters on a winter rod, because the angler often holds the rod for long periods while watching for the slightest movement of the tip.

The rod is fitted with large-diameter guides. The bite indicator is also equipped with large guides. This is a practical detail for winter fishing: larger rings are less likely to clog with ice, so the line runs more freely and the angler does not have to clear the guides as often on particularly cold days.

The rod tip is designed to transmit the touch and the strikes of fish clearly. On a short winter rod, the tip is the main source of feedback, so a tip that registers contact well helps the angler react at the right moment rather than striking too early or too late.

With its 70 cm length and 3-30 g casting weight, the Asseri Caster Plus suits light winter presentations and short-range work over the ice. It is a practical choice for anglers who want a dedicated, easy-to-handle winter rod with a built-in bite indicator rather than a separate indicator setup.

Winter Ice Fishing Rod Carbon Fibre 30cm 13g EVA Handle is a specialised, ultra-light ice fishing rod designed for anglers who fish with a float and a single hook for bream and other white fish through the ice. Its minimalist construction and low weight make it an excellent choice for delicate winter presentations where sensitivity and control matter most.

The rod features a carbon fibre blank that runs through the entire length of the rod. This full-length carbon construction keeps the rod stiff enough for a positive hook set while remaining extremely light in the hand. Carbon fibre is also valued by ice anglers for its ability to transmit even the slightest bite directly to the angler's fingers, which is essential when fish are lethargic and bites are subtle.

At just 13 g, this rod is exceptionally light. When you are holding a rod for long periods in cold conditions, every gram counts. A lighter rod reduces fatigue, allows you to keep a sensitive grip on the line, and makes it easier to strike quickly when a bream or other fish takes the bait. The low weight is particularly important when fishing with a single hook and float rig for bream, where the bait is often small and the bite can be very gentle.

The handle is made from EVA, a closed-cell foam that is comfortable to hold, resistant to water and cold, and provides a secure grip even with wet or gloved hands. EVA is a popular choice for winter rods because it does not become slippery or uncomfortable in low temperatures, and it helps keep the overall weight of the rod down.

Under the reel seat, a Lavsan washer is fitted beneath the reel locking nut. This simple but effective detail ensures that the reel stays firmly in place and that the drag system works smoothly. A stable reel seat is important when playing a larger fish, as it prevents the reel from shifting and allows the drag to operate consistently, reducing the risk of line breakage when a big fish makes a strong run.

The rod is built with no unnecessary components. Every part has a purpose, which keeps the rod light, reliable and easy to use in the confined space of an ice fishing shelter or on the open ice. The 30 cm length is a practical size for ice fishing, offering enough leverage for playing fish while remaining compact and easy to handle.

This rod is aimed at ice fishing with a float and single hook for bream and similar white fish. It is also suitable for other delicate winter presentations where a light, sensitive rod is required. Whether you are fishing a small pond or a larger lake, this carbon fibre ice rod gives you the control and sensitivity needed to detect even the softest bites.

Akara Ice Profi 70cm is a highly versatile ice fishing rod that combines an attractive design with dependable performance on the ice. Built for anglers who demand reliability in cold conditions, it is a practical choice for a wide range of winter fishing situations.

The rod is fitted with large-diameter guides, a detail that makes a real difference during freezing weather. Larger rings are less prone to clogging with ice, so you spend less time clearing the guides and more time fishing. This is a genuine advantage on long, cold sessions when ice build-up can otherwise interrupt your presentation.

The well-damping blank absorbs the shocks and lunges of a hooked fish in a smooth, controlled manner. This cushioning effect helps protect light winter lines and reduces the risk of hooks pulling free during the fight, making the rod feel composed even when a fish makes a sudden run.

The handle is made from natural cork, offering a comfortable and secure grip that stays pleasant to hold in low temperatures. It incorporates a plastic reel seat with a firm locking mechanism, keeping your reel solidly in place while you work the lure. Just above the handle there is a small hook keeper, a convenient touch that lets you secure your hook or lure safely between fishing spots.

This rod is most commonly used for fishing with balance jigs, spoons and devil lures, making it a versatile tool for targeting perch, zander and other winter predators. Its 70 cm length provides a good balance between manoeuvrability inside a shelter and enough reach to work lures effectively through the ice.

Whether you are jigging for perch or presenting spoons for zander, the Akara Ice Profi 70cm is a well-rounded ice rod that covers a broad range of winter techniques with ease.

The rod has a comfortable, curved handle that does not chill your hands. The ergonomic shape provides a secure grip and helps retain warmth during long sessions on the ice. At 60 cm in length, the rod is compact enough for mobility yet long enough for effective jigging.

13 Fishing Wicked Deadstick Ice Rod M 120cm is a premium-class winter spinning rod built for anglers who demand sensitivity and control when fishing through the ice. Designed by 13 Fishing, this rod combines a high-grade Toray carbon blank with Evolve Performance guides to deliver a responsive, lightweight tool for ice fishing.

The Toray carbon blank is the heart of the Wicked Deadstick Ice Rod. Toray carbon is widely respected in rod manufacturing for its favourable strength-to-weight ratio, and here it helps keep the rod at just 130 g while maintaining the backbone needed for hook sets. The result is a rod that feels balanced in the hand and transmits subtle vibrations from the lure or bait directly to your fingers.

Fitted with Evolve Performance guides, the rod is built to manage line smoothly during retrieves and when playing fish. These guides are designed to reduce friction and support accurate casting and jigging, which is particularly useful in cold conditions where line can stiffen and ice can form in the rings.

The Evolve reel seat provides a secure, wobble-free connection between rod and reel. A solid reel seat is essential in ice fishing, where repeated jigging and sudden strikes put stress on the handle area. The modern design of the Wicked Deadstick also gives the rod a clean, contemporary look that matches its premium positioning.

At 120 cm in length, this rod is well suited to fishing through drilled ice holes. The moderate length offers enough leverage for fighting fish while remaining compact enough to handle comfortably in a shelter or when moving between holes. The M (medium) power rating makes it a versatile choice for a range of ice fishing presentations, from small jigs to slightly heavier lures.

Sensitivity is a key benefit of this rod. Because the blank is made from Toray carbon and the rod is lightweight, it allows you to feel even the lightest takes. This is especially valuable in ice fishing, where bites can be subtle and a delayed reaction can mean a missed fish. The Wicked Deadstick Ice Rod is designed to help you detect and respond to those bites more effectively.

This rod is intended for winter ice fishing applications. It is suitable for anglers targeting perch, roach, zander and other species commonly pursued through the ice, depending on local regulations and water conditions. Whether you are jigging vertically or presenting a deadbait, the rod's construction supports precise lure control and reliable hook sets.

In summary, the 13 Fishing Wicked Deadstick Ice Rod M 120cm is a well-specified winter spinning rod that combines a Toray carbon blank, Evolve Performance guides and an Evolve reel seat in a lightweight 130 g package. It is a strong option for ice anglers looking for a sensitive, durable and modern rod.

The blank is constructed from Solid Tip T24 graphite, a material combination that delivers a responsive and durable rod suitable for the demands of winter fishing.

The rod features a medium-stiff action, offering a balanced compromise between sensitivity and sufficient backbone for setting hooks and controlling fish in cold conditions. This action is well suited to vertical jigging techniques where the angler needs to feel the lure and react quickly to subtle takes.

Equipped with stainless steel guides, the rod is built to withstand the corrosive effects of ice, snow and moisture.

A cork handle provides a comfortable, secure grip that remains warm to the touch and offers good control during jigging.

Its compact 45 cm length makes it ideal for hole-hopping on hard water, while the responsive blank transmits even the lightest takes directly to your hand.

The blank is constructed from medium-stiff Solid Tip 30T graphite, a material combination that offers a good balance between backbone and sensitivity. The solid tip section provides a smooth, progressive action that helps detect subtle bites and keeps small hooks pinned during the fight, while the 30T graphite core delivers enough stiffness for confident hook sets and controlled lure action.

The handle is made from natural cork, a traditional material valued for its warm, comfortable grip and secure hold even in cold, wet conditions. Cork also helps dampen vibration and reduces hand fatigue during long sessions on the ice. The reel seat features graphite mounting rings, keeping the overall weight low while providing a firm, reliable hold on the reel.

All line guides are made from stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and smooth line flow. This is particularly important in winter fishing, where exposure to moisture, ice and road salt can quickly degrade lower-quality components. The stainless steel guides help protect your line and maintain consistent casting and jigging performance throughout the season.

At just 34 g, the C-Tech Perch is light enough to hold for extended periods without fatigue, making it well suited to active ice fishing where you move between holes in search of perch and other predatory fish. The short 45 cm length also makes the rod easy to pack and transport in a sled, bucket or backpack.

Akara Ice Jig Profi is a highly versatile ice fishing rod built around an integrated bite indicator, making it a dependable choice for anglers who want clear bite detection in one compact, ready-to-use setup. Whether you are jigging for perch and zander or targeting smaller species through the ice, this rod is designed to keep you in touch with what is happening at the lure.

The handle is made from EVA material, a closed-cell foam that offers a comfortable, secure grip and resists absorbing water during long, cold sessions on the ice. The reel is secured using plastic rings, a simple and reliable mounting method that keeps the reel firmly in place without adding unnecessary bulk to the handle.

The rod is supplied in two sections, which makes it noticeably easier to transport and store. When broken down it measures just 60 cm, so it fits neatly into a rucksack or rod bag, while the assembled length of 70 cm gives you enough reach to work lures effectively at the hole.

The blank has a firm action that allows you to set the hook quickly and decisively, even when fishing at depth. At the same time, the soft bite indicator is sensitive enough to register even the most tentative takes, so you can see what is happening before the fish commits. Because the indicator is integrated into the rod, the line does not catch on protruding parts while you are fishing, which keeps your presentation clean and reduces the risk of tangles.

The rod is fitted with large-diameter guides, and the bite indicator also features large rings. This is a practical detail for winter fishing: larger guides are less likely to clog with ice on colder days, so you spend less time clearing them and more time fishing. It is a small design choice that makes a real difference when temperatures drop.

With a working weight range of 15-28 g, the Ice Jig Profi is well suited to a variety of ice fishing presentations. It performs excellently with balance jigs, spoons and mormyshkas, and it can also be used as a winter feeder rod or for catching smelt. That flexibility makes it a useful rod to have in your kit, whether you are fishing a familiar lake or trying somewhere new.

At just 44 g, the rod is light enough to hold comfortably for extended periods, which matters when you are jigging actively and need to stay alert to every movement of the indicator. The combination of a firm blank, a sensitive integrated indicator and ice-resistant guides makes the Akara Ice Jig Profi a practical, well-thought-out tool for winter anglers.

Chlapuškė Ice Fishing Rod 70cm is a handcrafted, specialist rod made in Lithuania for vendace and smelt fishing. Known among vendace anglers as a true legend, this rod has earned its reputation through thoughtful design and reliable performance in cold-water conditions.

The rod features a cork handle that helps keep your hand warmer on freezing fishing days, making long sessions on the ice more comfortable. Cork is a traditional choice for winter rods because it insulates well and offers a secure grip even with cold, wet hands.

Its long, sensitive, multi-layer quiver tip is designed to register even the most cautious bites from vendace and smelt, even when fishing at greater depths. The tip's construction allows you to see subtle takes that would otherwise go unnoticed, giving you a real advantage when targeting these delicate species.

The rod guides are set at a special angle to keep the line away from the rod blank, reducing friction and wear. This thoughtful detail helps protect both your line and the rod, and contributes to smoother line flow during the retrieve.

For easier transport, the rod breaks down into two separate sections, making it convenient to carry in a rod bag or pack. Despite its specialist design, it is versatile enough to be used both from the ice and from a boat, so you can adapt to different winter fishing situations.

With a length of 70cm and a weight of just 33g, this rod is lightweight and manageable, ideal for the focused, delicate presentation that vendace and smelt fishing demands. Whether you are a seasoned winter angler or new to targeting these species, the Chlapuškė offers a purpose-built solution.

Akara Winter Balalaika Ice Fishing Rod with Lavsan Bite Indicator is an ultra-light ice fishing rod designed for anglers who demand sensitivity and precision when fishing through the ice. Its slim, tapered blank and compact dimensions make it an ideal choice for targeting wary fish in cold-water conditions.

The rod is constructed from thin carbon fibre, a material chosen for its favourable strength-to-weight ratio. This allows the blank to remain exceptionally light in the hand while still offering the responsiveness needed to detect subtle takes. The slim profile of the body reduces overall weight further, helping to minimise fatigue during longer sessions on the ice.

At just 25 cm in length, this rod is highly portable and easy to handle in confined spaces. The short length is well suited to the close-range presentations typical of ice fishing, where precise control over the bait and quick hook sets are essential. The compact reel diameter of 5 cm keeps the setup balanced and manageable, even when wearing gloves in cold conditions.

Included with the rod is a Lavsan bite indicator measuring 9.5 cm. Lavsan is a durable synthetic material known for its reliability in low temperatures, and the indicator is designed to register even the most delicate bites. When fitted, it provides a clear visual signal of fish activity, allowing you to react quickly and improve your hook-up rate.

This rod is particularly effective when fishing with a variety of small jigs and spoons, often referred to as avižėlės in Lithuanian angling. The sensitive tip and Lavsan indicator work together to transmit information about the bait's movement and any interest from fish, making it easier to adapt your presentation and stay in contact with the lure.

Whether you are a seasoned ice angler or new to winter fishing, the Akara Balalaika rod offers a practical combination of lightweight construction, compact dimensions and a proven bite indication system. Its simple, functional design makes it a reliable companion for perch, roach and other species commonly targeted through the ice.

Akara Winter Ice Fishing Rod Carbon Fibre 32cm 13g Bream Float Rod BEANG-2 is a specialised winter float rod designed for float fishing through the ice, particularly for targeting bream and other white fish with a float rig. Its minimalist construction and lightweight build make it a practical choice for anglers who need a sensitive, responsive rod for cold-weather sessions.

The rod features a carbon fibre blank that runs through the entire length of the rod, giving it a light and responsive feel. Carbon fibre is widely used in winter rod construction because it combines low weight with good sensitivity, allowing the angler to detect subtle bites even in cold conditions. The blank is paired with a polystyrene foam handle, which further reduces overall weight and provides a comfortable grip during long periods of holding the rod over an ice hole.

Weighing just 13 g, this rod is exceptionally light, which is a significant advantage when fishing with small bream floats. A lighter rod reduces fatigue during extended sessions and allows for more delicate presentation of the rig. The absence of unnecessary components keeps the rod simple, reliable and easy to handle in cold weather.

Under the drag nut, a Lavsan washer is fitted. This component is intended to ensure smooth and reliable drag operation, helping to prevent line breakage when a larger fish takes the bait. The washer contributes to consistent drag performance, which is particularly useful when playing fish on light line through an ice hole.

This rod is oriented towards bream float fishing and similar winter float techniques. Its short length and light weight make it well suited to fishing in confined spaces, such as ice holes, where precise control and quick bite detection are essential. The rod is described as particularly comfortable and high quality, making it a suitable option for anglers who want a dedicated winter float rod.

Its short packed length and telescopic construction make it an ideal companion for ice fishing sessions where mobility and quick setup matter. Whether you are targeting perch, roach or other winter species, this rod offers a versatile platform for a range of ice fishing techniques.
