5 ways to choose a hole fishing rod
What kind of rod is suitable for ice fishing? Here are five points you should check.
Part 1. Reel type
source:fishing tackle casting
In hole fishing, you don't need to cast long distances. Basically, you only need to lower the rig in the vertical direction. Fishing is possible with spinning rods and spinning reels, but baits are more powerful and easier to operate.
However, if you are worried about the backlash of the baitcasting reel, you can use a spinning rod.
Part 2. Length of hole fishing rod
Shooting: FISH PARADISE! Editorial department
Since hole fishing is basically fishing by searching for a hole in front of you, a slightly shorter rod is recommended because it is easier to handle. As a guideline, it is good to keep it at about 1.8m at the longest.
Also, since hole fishing is fishing that walks in a tetra band, a rod that is too long may cause breakage during movement, so be careful.
Part 3. Hardness of hole fishing rod

Root fish, which are the target of hole fishing, try to dive into their own habitat at once when they add bait. Therefore, the rod should be powerful and solid.
Also, in order to get a small hit before the needle is hooked, we recommend a rod with good sensitivity that bends near the tip.
Part 4. Weight load of hole fishing rod

For hole fishing, we often use a weight of about 5 to 20, so choose a lure that can withstand that weight. The weight of the tackle will change depending on the situation, so it is safe to use a rod with a large weight load.
5. Portability

As I touched on the length of the rod, hole fishing is fishing that walks on a tetra belt with poor footing. If the rod is compact when folded, it is easier to carry, and the risk of rod damage and injury can be reduced.
Choose a highly portable rod that does not add bulk when stored.
/Rods for hole fishing can be substituted with bass rods, boat fishing rods, etc.

Of course, a rod dedicated to hole fishing is easy to use, but bass fishing can be substituted with a bass rod or a rod for a small boat. However, as mentioned above, choose one that is not too long and has bat power.
A bait rod is recommended rather than a spinning rod, but be careful as it may cause damage if the load of the weight is small, such as for finesse.
