Winter Rods

Siweida Kolibri Ice is an ultra light ice fishing rod designed for vertical jigging, whether from a boat or through the ice. Its sensitive build and responsive tip make it a reliable tool for anglers who need to feel the slightest take in cold-water conditions.

The rod is built on an IM8 carbon fibre blank, a material chosen for its light weight and crisp response. This construction helps transmit subtle vibrations from the lure directly to the angler's hand, which is particularly useful when fishing with small jigs and soft plastics for cautious species.

At the top of the rod, a high-resistance fibreglass tip is fitted. This tip section adds durability while retaining the sensitivity needed to detect gentle bites. The combination of a carbon blank and a fibreglass tip gives the Kolibri Ice a balanced action that works well for vertical presentations.

The removable handle allows the rod to be broken down for transport and storage, making it convenient to carry in a rod bag or bucket. A tip protector tube is included in the set to guard the delicate tip during travel and between fishing sessions.

With a length of 1 m and a casting weight of 1–11 g, this rod is suited to light jig heads and small vertical lures. It is a practical choice for targeting vendace and similar small to medium species that demand a delicate approach.

Whether you are fishing from a boat or sitting over a hole in the ice, the Siweida Kolibri Ice offers a lightweight, sensitive and portable solution for ultra light vertical jigging.

This compact and sturdy rod is an excellent choice for anglers targeting perch and pike through the ice, offering the reliability and control needed in cold conditions.

The rod features a durable construction built to withstand the demands of ice fishing. Its short 54cm length provides excellent manoeuvrability in tight spaces, making it ideal for fishing in ice holes where precision and control are essential. The rod's stiffness allows for effective hook sets and confident lure action when working VIBs and other vertical presentations.

The handle is crafted from non-slip EVA material, a practical choice for winter angling. EVA is known for its comfortable grip and insulating properties, helping to keep hands warmer during long sessions on the ice. The non-slip surface ensures a secure hold even when wearing gloves or when hands are wet or cold, giving you better control when striking or playing fish.

This design keeps the setup lightweight and reduces the risk of mechanical failure in sub-zero temperatures, where conventional reels can freeze or jam.

The handle is crafted from non-slip EVA material, which provides a secure grip even with wet or gloved hands.

Akara Ice Pike 55cm is a winter telescopic spinning rod designed for ice fishing, combining universal application with an attractive, practical design. Its compact telescopic construction makes it easy to transport and set up on the ice, while the short 55cm length gives you the control and precision needed when fishing through drilled holes.

The rod is fitted with large-diameter guides, a detail that matters greatly during cold winter sessions. Larger guides allow ice and frozen slush to pass through more easily, so you spend less time clearing blockages and more time fishing. This is a genuine advantage on freezing days when standard small guides quickly become clogged.

The blank is stiff, providing a firm, direct feel that suits the techniques this rod is built for. A stiff blank transmits movement and takes well when working lures actively, giving you a responsive tool for jigging and balance-style presentations.

The handle is made from EVA material, which helps keep your hand warmer and provides a secure, comfortable grip even in low temperatures. EVA is also durable and easy to wipe clean, making it a sensible choice for repeated winter use.

The handle is made from rigid foam polystyrene, a material chosen to help keep your hands warmer while fishing in freezing temperatures. This thoughtful design detail makes the rod comfortable to hold for extended periods, allowing you to focus on the fishing rather than the cold.

This rod is a versatile tool suitable for a range of ice fishing techniques. It can be used with pendulum lures, balance lures, or with a strike indicator (sargelis) for fishing with oat baits.

Akara Ice Master 60cm is a compact telescopic winter ice fishing rod designed for anglers who need a lightweight, portable and reliable setup for fishing through the ice. With a collapsed length that makes it easy to transport and store, this rod is built for mobility on frozen lakes, ponds and canals where quick repositioning and efficient drilling are part of the day.

The rod is constructed from strong carbon fibre, a material chosen for its favourable balance of low weight and rigidity. This helps the rod remain comfortable to hold during extended sessions while offering the responsiveness needed when fishing with small lures. The telescopic design allows the rod to be shortened for transport and extended quickly when you arrive at your chosen swim.

The handle is made from cork, which is a practical choice for cold-weather angling. Cork provides a natural, comfortable grip and helps reduce the chill that can transfer through metal or hard plastic handles on freezing days. This makes the rod more pleasant to hold for longer periods, particularly when temperatures are low and you are waiting for bites.

This is a rod without a reel, intended for anglers who prefer to use their own compatible reel or who fish with a simple line-holding setup. The line is wound onto two metal line holders that are fitted to the rod for this purpose. This arrangement keeps the line tidy and accessible, and is a common approach for lightweight ice fishing where a compact, uncomplicated setup is preferred.

The 60cm length makes the Ice Master well suited to ice fishing with small spinning lures when targeting predatory fish. The short rod length supports controlled jigging and precise lure movement in the confined space of an ice hole, while the carbon construction helps transmit feedback from the lure. It is a practical choice for anglers who want a dedicated winter rod that is easy to carry and quick to deploy.

Whether you are fishing a familiar frozen water or exploring new ice fishing venues, the Akara Ice Master 60cm offers a straightforward, lightweight solution.

Carbon Fibre Winter Ice Fishing Rod "Balalaika" is a specialised, ultra-light rod designed for ice fishing and vertical jigging through the ice. Its compact 36 cm length and low 15 g weight make it an excellent choice for anglers who demand sensitivity and portability when targeting fish in frozen waters.

Constructed from carbon fibre, this rod offers a responsive and lightweight feel that helps detect even the most delicate bites. The material is known for its strength-to-weight ratio, allowing the rod to remain stiff enough for hook sets while staying sensitive enough to feel subtle takes from cautious fish.

The rod features two guides that help manage line flow and reduce friction during retrieves. This simple yet effective guide arrangement is well suited to the short, precise presentations used in ice fishing, where line control is critical for success.

With a 36 cm length, the "Balalaika" rod is highly portable and easy to handle in tight spaces such as ice huts or when kneeling over a hole. The short length also provides excellent leverage for vertical jigging techniques, allowing anglers to impart action to lures with minimal effort.

The rod is equipped with a 5 cm diameter reel, which offers a compact and balanced setup. This integrated reel design keeps the overall package lightweight and ready for immediate use, reducing the need for additional tackle and simplifying your ice fishing kit.

Weighing only 15 g, this rod is exceptionally light in the hand, reducing fatigue during long sessions on the ice. Its low weight also contributes to better bite detection, as the rod is less likely to dampen the subtle vibrations transmitted through the line.

Its compact dimensions and low weight make it a practical choice for mobile ice fishing sessions where every gram and every movement counts.

The rod features a thin carbon fibre tip that provides the responsiveness needed to detect delicate takes. An additional guide positioned at the mid-point of the tip helps keep the line aligned and reduces the risk of tangling, which is a common frustration when fishing with fine lines in cold conditions.

The reel body is lined with a special cold-resistant silicone, a detail that helps maintain smooth operation when temperatures drop. Inside the reel, Lavsan inserts are fitted to ensure the spool rotates freely and consistently, supporting reliable line release and retrieval during winter sessions.

Iron Wolf S-Spot 28" 71cm is a sensitive ice fishing rod developed for targeting vendace and lake smelt through the ice. Its lightweight blank and highly responsive tip make it an excellent choice for anglers who need to detect even the softest takes in cold-water conditions.

The rod is built around a sensitive and very lightweight construction. Weighing only 43 g, it remains comfortable to hold for long sessions and allows you to work small lures or baits with precision. The working weight starts from just 3 g, so the rod loads properly with the light presentations typically used for vendace and smelt.

One of the standout features is the red ball at the tip. This acts as a visual bite indicator, making it easier to spot subtle movements when fishing in low light or when watching the rod closely. The wide guides help reduce friction and allow line to flow freely, which is particularly useful when using fine diameters and light jigs.

The 71 cm length offers a good balance between portability and control. It is short enough to handle comfortably inside a shelter or when moving between holes, yet long enough to give you a degree of reach and leverage when playing fish.

Its compact 50 cm length and lightweight 32 g build make it an excellent choice for anglers who need a sensitive, responsive rod for vertical jigging and lure presentation through the ice.

The rod features a comfortable cork handle that provides a secure grip even in cold conditions. The wide ceramic guides allow the line to flow smoothly during retrieves and help reduce friction, which is particularly useful when fishing with fine diameters or when using braided lines in sub-zero temperatures.

At the tip of the rod, there is a dedicated slot for fitting a bite indicator (sargelis). This allows anglers to use a visual strike detection system, which is essential for spotting subtle takes from cautious predators under the ice. The rod is classified as Light type, meaning it is sensitive and transmits the action of the lure and the moment of a bite clearly to the angler's hand.

Carbon Ice Fishing Rod 40cm is a specialised winter fishing rod designed for fishing with a jigging spoon, balance jig or spoon lure without a bite indicator. Its ultralight construction and sensitive carbon blank make it an excellent choice for anglers who demand direct contact with their lure and immediate feedback on every touch.

The rod is built on a carbon blank, which gives it a very low weight and a responsive, "ringing" character. Because the rod weighs only 15 grams, it can be held comfortably for long periods without fatigue, making it ideal for active ice fishing sessions where constant jigging and precise lure control are essential.

The handle is made from EVA material, a durable and lightweight foam that provides a secure, non-slip grip even in cold and wet conditions. The EVA handle also contributes to the rod's low overall weight and helps dampen vibrations, allowing the angler to feel even the lightest bites through the hand.

With a length of 40 cm, this rod is compact and easy to handle in tight spaces, such as inside an ice fishing shelter or when fishing close to the hole. The short length also improves manoeuvrability when working lures vertically in deep water.

This rod is particularly suited to vertical jigging and spoon fishing through the ice. The sensitive carbon blank transmits every touch directly to the hand, so anglers can detect subtle takes from cautious fish such as perch, roach, zander and pike. The absence of a bite indicator is intentional: the rod is designed for direct hand-to-lure contact, which is a popular technique among experienced ice anglers.

Whether you are targeting small panfish or larger predators, the Carbon Ice Fishing Rod 40cm offers a lightweight, sensitive and reliable solution for winter fishing. Its combination of carbon construction, EVA handle and minimal weight makes it a practical addition to any ice angler's tackle box.

The two-piece telescopic construction allows the rod to be collapsed for transport, with a transport length of 44 cm — compact enough to fit into a rod bag or bucket without taking up unnecessary space.

The integrated bite indicator is one of the defining features of this rod. Because it is built into the rod rather than attached as a separate accessory, the line does not catch on protruding parts while fishing. The indicator transmits takes clearly and allows a confident strike to be set when a fish bites.

Large-diameter guides are fitted along the rod, and the bite indicator is also equipped with large guides. This is a practical detail for winter fishing: larger guides are less likely to clog with ice during colder sessions, reducing the need to clear them frequently and helping the line run more freely.

This rod is intended for universal ice fishing. When paired with a suitable float or bite indicator, it can be used for fishing with maggots or for targeting smelt. This flexibility allows anglers to adapt the same rod to different winter fishing situations without needing multiple specialised setups.

A practical folding stand is integrated into the design. This allows the rod to be placed securely on the ice in a ready position, keeping the line and bait in the strike zone while the angler waits for a bite. The stand helps reduce the need to hold the rod continuously and supports a more relaxed fishing approach.

The rod blank is telescopic, extending for use and retracting for transport. When collapsed, the rod measures approximately 20 cm, making it easy to carry in a backpack or tackle bag.

Winter Ice Fishing Rod "Balalaika" is a compact, purpose-built ice fishing rod designed for universal ice fishing with a jig. Its short, balanced format and integrated float reel make it a practical choice for anglers who want a simple, reliable setup for fishing through the ice.

The rod body is made from durable, cold-resistant foam and is finished in bright, high-visibility colours. This is a genuine advantage on the ice: a rod that stands out clearly against snow and ice is easier to spot, easier to keep track of when you are moving between holes, and less likely to be lost or overlooked in low winter light.

Inside the reel, Lavsan washers are fitted beneath the spool. These washers help the reel run smoothly and evenly, so line can be paid out and retrieved without the stiffness or snagging that cheaper winter reels often develop in freezing conditions. The interior of the reel is coated with cold-resistant silicone, which further supports smooth operation in low temperatures.

The rod is supplied with a holder that allows you to rest the rod conveniently on the ice. This is a small but genuinely useful addition for ice anglers: it keeps the rod off the frozen surface, helps prevent the line from freezing to the ice, and gives you a stable position when you are waiting for a bite or attending to another hole.

The "Balalaika" is intended for universal ice fishing with a jig. Its short length and light weight make it easy to handle in cold conditions, and the integrated reel keeps the whole setup compact and ready to use. It is a straightforward, practical rod for anglers who prefer a simple, dependable ice fishing tool rather than a complex specialist setup.

Winter Ice Fishing Rod is a compact, purpose-built rod designed for ice fishing and cold-weather angling. With a length of just 32 cm, it is easy to carry, quick to set up and ideal for fishing through drilled ice holes where space is limited and precise handling matters.

The rod features folding legs that allow it to stand securely on the ice or a hard surface, keeping your bait presentation stable while you wait for a bite. This hands-free setup is particularly useful when fishing with bite indicators or when you need to tend to other rods.

The extendable blank pulls out for use and retracts for transport, making the rod highly portable. It fits easily into a rucksack or tackle bag, so you can carry it to remote venues without bulk or hassle.

An EVA handle provides a comfortable, secure grip even in cold conditions. EVA is a durable, closed-cell foam that resists water absorption and remains grippy when wet or icy, which is a real advantage during winter sessions.

With a reel diameter of 50 mm and a total weight of only 32 g, the rod is lightweight and balanced, reducing fatigue during long periods of holding or watching the rod. The compact reel keeps the overall package small and manageable.

This is a universal ice fishing rod suitable for all common winter fishing methods. Whether you are targeting perch, roach, bream or other cold-water species, the rod offers a simple, reliable and portable solution.

Akara Ice Jig Tele is a versatile ice fishing rod with an integrated bite indicator, designed for anglers who want a compact, ready-to-use setup on the ice. Its two-piece telescopic construction makes it easy to transport and quick to set up, while the integrated indicator keeps the line running cleanly without snagging on protruding parts.

The handle is made from EVA material, a closed-cell foam that offers a comfortable, secure grip and remains easy to handle in cold conditions. The reel is secured with plastic rings, keeping the mounting simple and lightweight.

Because the rod is telescopic and splits into two sections, it packs down to a transport length of just 44 cm, making it convenient to carry in a rucksack or tackle box. The blank is flat and tapers towards the tip, giving the rod a responsive feel that suits light jigging presentations.

The integrated bite indicator is a key feature: it transmits takes clearly and allows a confident strike to set the hook. Since the indicator is built into the rod rather than attached separately, the line does not catch on extra protruding components during fishing.

The rod is fitted with large-diameter guides, and the indicator also features large guides. This helps reduce the build-up of ice on the rings during colder winter days, so you spend less time clearing them and more time fishing.

With a working weight of 3-7 g, the Akara Ice Jig Tele is well suited to fishing with jigs, balance lures and vertical spoons. Depending on the rig chosen, it can also be used as a light ice feeder rod or for catching smelt.

Akara Ice Jig Profi is a highly versatile ice fishing rod featuring an integrated bite indicator, designed for anglers who demand sensitivity and reliability on the ice. Whether you are targeting perch, roach or other winter species, this rod delivers the feedback you need to detect even the most delicate takes.

The handle is crafted from EVA material, a closed-cell foam that offers a comfortable, secure grip even in freezing conditions. EVA is favoured by ice anglers because it does not absorb water, remains grippy when wet and provides a degree of insulation against the cold. The reel is secured to the handle by means of plastic rings, a simple and dependable mounting system that keeps the reel firmly in place during vigorous jigging action.

The rod is constructed in two sections, making it easier to transport and store. When broken down, it measures just 45 cm, so it fits neatly into a rucksack or tackle box without taking up excessive space. This portability is a real advantage when walking out to distant swims or when space on the ice is at a premium.

The stiffness of the rod blank allows you to set the hook firmly and decisively, even when fishing at depth or in windy conditions. At the same time, the softness of the integrated bite indicator ensures that every bite is clearly visible, from the gentlest nudge to a confident pull. Because the indicator is integrated into the rod, the line does not catch on protruding parts, which reduces tangles and keeps your presentation clean.

The rod is fitted with large-diameter guides, and the bite indicator also features large rings. This design is particularly practical in colder weather, as ice is less likely to build up and block the guides, meaning you spend less time clearing ice and more time fishing. The larger rings also allow line to flow freely, which can be beneficial when using light jigs and lures.

This rod is an excellent choice for fishing with spoons, balance lures and jigs. It can also be used as a winter feeder rod or for catching smelt. Its versatility makes it a valuable addition to any ice angler's arsenal, covering a range of presentations and techniques.

Whether you are targeting perch, roach or ruffe, this rod delivers the feedback needed to detect even the most delicate takes in freezing conditions.

The handle is crafted from EVA material, providing a comfortable and secure grip even when wearing gloves or when temperatures drop well below zero. The reel is secured using plastic rings, a simple and dependable mounting system that keeps the reel firmly in place without adding unnecessary bulk.

This rod is two-piece for easier transport and storage. With a transport length of just 38 cm, it fits neatly into a rucksack or tackle box, making it an excellent choice for mobile anglers who move between swims in search of fish.

The rod's stiffness allows for a confident and immediate hook set, while the softness of the integrated bite indicator ensures that every bite is clearly visible. Because the indicator is built into the rod, the line does not catch on protruding parts during fishing, reducing tangles and improving overall efficiency.

The rod is fitted with large-diameter guides, and the bite indicator also features large guides. This design helps prevent ice build-up from blocking the line path, meaning you spend less time clearing ice from the guides on colder winter days and more time fishing.

The blank of the second section is flat and tapers towards the tip, a design that contributes to the rod's responsive action and helps transmit bites clearly to the indicator.

The rod is fitted with large-diameter guides, a thoughtful detail that helps reduce ice build-up during freezing conditions. This means less time spent clearing frozen line and more time fishing effectively when temperatures drop.

Akara Sport Balalaika is a specialised winter ice fishing rod designed for anglers who prefer a direct, indicator-free approach. This bespoke balalaika-style rod eliminates the need for a separate bite indicator, relying instead on an exceptionally sensitive tip that transmits even the most delicate takes directly to the angler's hand.

The rod features a highly sensitive tip that works particularly well with small baits such as oats (avižėlės), making it an excellent choice for targeting cautious winter species. The tip's responsiveness allows you to detect subtle bites that might otherwise go unnoticed, giving you a distinct advantage when fish are feeding tentatively under the ice.

Equipped with three line guides, the rod ensures smooth line flow and reduces friction during retrieval. The line passes cleanly through each guide, helping to maintain control and sensitivity throughout the fishing session.

The reel is fitted with Lavsan washers that guarantee smooth rotation and consistent performance. Inside the reel, a silicone layer prevents freezing, ensuring reliable operation even in sub-zero temperatures. This thoughtful construction detail makes the rod particularly suited to harsh winter conditions where lesser equipment might seize up.

This rod is ideal for fishing with bloodworm or standard oats, offering versatility for different winter bait presentations. Its compact 38 cm length and lightweight 15.5 g build make it easy to handle and manoeuvre, while the 44.3 mm reel diameter provides a comfortable grip and efficient line management.

With a working weight range of 0.7 to 2.8 g, the Akara Sport Balalaika is perfectly matched to the light jigs and small baits typically used in ice fishing. Whether you are a seasoned ice angler or new to the discipline, this rod delivers the sensitivity and reliability needed for successful winter sessions.

Akara Sport Balalaika Ice Fishing Rod is a specialised float-free winter rod designed for anglers who prefer a direct, sensitive approach to ice fishing. Instead of relying on a separate float, this rod uses an exceptionally sensitive tip that registers even the lightest takes and transmits them clearly to the angler.

The rod is built around a compact, balanced format that sits comfortably in the hand during long sessions on the ice. Its short overall length makes it easy to manage inside a shelter or when moving between holes, while the responsive tip keeps the angler in constant contact with the bait.

The tip is the defining feature of this rod. It is highly sensitive and works particularly well with oat-style baits, often referred to as avižėlė in the Lithuanian market. When a fish takes, the movement is transferred through the tip so the angler can react quickly and set the hook at the right moment.

Three small guides are fitted along the rod, allowing the line to run cleanly from the reel to the tip. This guide arrangement helps reduce friction and supports smooth line release during delicate presentations.

The reel is equipped with Lavsan washers that promote smooth rotation and consistent performance in cold conditions. Inside the reel, a silicone element helps prevent freezing, which is a practical detail for winter sessions when ice build-up can otherwise interfere with the reel's operation.

This rod is well suited to fishing with a float-free setup or with a standard oat bait presentation. It is a good choice for anglers who want a lightweight, responsive tool for targeting wary winter fish in cold water.
