I am looking for a ice fishing perch rod, reel combo, light action many of our lakes are crystal clear.
Max $50, glancing at Fleet farm I see a Fenwick Nighthawk combo light action 26 inch.
Retiring soon and will be doing more perching than in the past. I have a light/medium and
medium combo already (dirt cheap rigs) looking to upgrade. Thoughts? I welcome your favorite
set up but again looking for light action due to clear water use.

My favorite local pond usually 25-50 fow.

St Croix Mojo Ice might be worth checking out.

Beaver Dam Custom Ice noodle. It's only about $15 rod.

Jason Mitchel meatstick great perch rods.

Really have fallen in love with the 32 med light bro series with quick tip and inline. Have 3 of them now in the box. But it matters on your feel of fishing. I run 4 lb braid to a flouro leader for panfish because I want to feel the bites. So it becomes a preference.

My favorite pond near the house is deep water perching. Once lake trout season opens mid Jan, I do a lot of that but always take a perch rod just in case.
Thank you for the suggestions.

I second the Jason Mitchell rods suggestion!

X3 on the JM rods if you don’t go custom you can’t beat his lineup of rods.
