ROD HELP?

[tapsboy68]

im looking for a rod to fish with for lake trout. But all the heavy ones i come across looks like they went outside and cut a tree branch and called it a fishing rod. Im not looking to pull up ships that sunk years ago, just looking for a good heavy rod that looks like a normal rod but with a stiff back on it. I may be picky but i used those thick ones before and i cant stand it. Does anyone have any help on ice fishing rods for me?

depends how much money you want to spend. if you want it to be the way you want it get a custom rod. i get mine from stutzman hells canyon custom rods http://www.hellscanyoncustomrods.com/rods/index.html  . tell him aron skolnick told you about them.

I have a 38 inch JM ice specail spinning rod that's about equal to a medium power walley rod.  It's meant to absorb the shock of a quick fish run close to the hole.  It's no longer made.  Frabill has a couple of 38 inch spinning rods that aren't wooden sticks and they're nearly the same feel as my JM 38 inch rod.

I just ordered a Jason Mitchell Mackinaw rod, they look pretty good, i bought it in casting, but heard a spinning version is soon to follow
