Last year I was introduced to the Marmish palm rod and had some real good luck with it...This year I added the Jonttu Sport rod which has a corrugated surface on the back and running your fingernail across the ridges will cause tip vibration and jig play...I’m trying out a new 2 lb test line from ASSO (more thought should have gone into this name) which is supposed keep all its features to -40...The Fiskas jigs are made out of Tungsten (nearly as heavy as Gold) and they sink fast...I bought 5 different sizes of jigs (3mm to 6mm) and I have caught perch and trout on them...
The strike indicators on the palm rods are really sensitive and not everyone likes them but I figure it’s good to have wide range of tackle with you when you are out...I have different types of spring indicators on my other ice fishing rods and depending on how the fish are biting I change between the palm and standard rods....
