well thank you for your views and tips!!! I'm not trying to sound like I'm attacking you or anything... Even when jigging they hit really hard... You know right away they are there.. I've never been into a fish ice fishing that I could barley tell was biting every one I felt and it was very close to the same as when I'm fishing warmer weather open water...even the crappie I have caught threwthe ice have naild the line hard .... But thank you for your views.... I simply want to know which rod would handle the abuse of a hard hitter fish!! I don't mean to make it sound like abuse as in stomping the rod and reel into the dirt or ice in this occasion because that is not it. Mearly just the abuse of the fish in the fight.. I've witnessed many broken poles while ice fishing and well I don't want a broken pole to bad..
