    Then you should pick all three that apply to you.

    I used to only use a 24″ rod since I began ice fishing. This year, I got a 30″ rod, and I’m loving it more each time out on the ice. No more having to sit right up to the hole in the ice. Now that I can kneel or sit farther away, I don’t get flasher eyes as much. Also, it’s easier to get the rod tip closer to the water when fishing outside which keeps the line from blowing in the breeze.

    Used to used 24 inchers, but have gravitated towards 32 inchers. I can easily get by with 32s inside the shack. I do have a. 16″ Sweet Pea that is the bomb for sight fishing. I’ve also gravitated to longer open water rods as I feel they play fish better IMO.

    I like my rods long and stiff so I can really cross Mr. Walleye’s eyes.
