This rod was designed by Adam "Bart" Bartusek from the YouTube Series, The Crappie Chronicles. This rod was made to be a VERY versatile panfish ice rod. If you are just starting out ice fishing, or grabbing your first higher end custom rod, this is a great starting point. This rod excels at numerous presentations, especially quivering and swimming a tungsten jig because the spring hides any unwanted rod movements while also helping with bite detection. This rod also has a more moderate action in the middle of the rod, in comparison to a Power Noodle, this rod can handle big fish with ease while still driving a hook home.
