Ice Rods
« on: Dec 04, 2006, 01:59 PM »
Its getting to be about that time again and me and another buddy are looking for Jack Cooks number. He is out of Angola, in and he makes his own ice rods. We each bought one last year and we are looking at getting another. If anyone has his number could you please pm me with it so we can pick up a couple more. thanks for the info.

Does anyone have pictures of a Gaff rod?  Do they come with a spring bobber installed?  How much do they cost?

Siegel Bait Steuben county has some very nice custom to your specs  Graphite IM-6 ice rods ! I own about 12 some have name burned right in the handle ( which is wood not cork ), some have spring bobbbers installed . I know Fishdaddy09 has several of the rods also Yogi  has a few also . Gaff rods are nice , but are just Glass blanks ,i prefer tightling over bobbers (  graphite will have more feel ). I will try to post some pictures of a few the rods later . TIGHT LINES

Gaff is on the East side of the road,same side as the barn. The barn is a good landmark to locate him. I work with a guy that is good friends with him and his new rods have a different spring bobber. Anyways turn left right after the barn
and go down the lane past the pond till you see a little building before the house on the right. Its worth the trip guys. Plus its right down the road from
Chain O Lakes.

Siegel rods are real nice.  He has all kind of lengths and will make any size you want.  He has fair prices.  I have a bunch of his rods and really like them.  I have rods from all 3 and Siegel is my favorite but I prefer graphite rods.  Yogi
