    Does anyone know of a place where I could find busted open water fishing rods to turn into ice fishing rods? Tip sections or just busted ends of rods to convert to new ice sticks. I have heard the St.Croix factory has a bunch but have never gotten the chance to check and see for myself. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    Fisherman’s Factory Outlet in Spirit Lake, IA is a good source for what you may be looking for. I have made several ice rods from broken open water rods. Snoopy and Barbie poles make great ice rods – I make wood handles on my turning lathe. Add a reel and make a kid happy.

    Yep, Cabela’s in PDC has a wooden barrel with broken rods in it. I’ve fixed up a couple I use when fishing minnows thru the ice. I like the stiffer action when a big bass hits the bait.
