Ice Hopper Extreme Taper Rod

Ice Hopper Extreme Taper Rod

By Ice Hopper
Ice Hopper Extreme Taper rods utilize solid carbon or fiberglass blanks and fast tapers for the ultimate in tip sensitivity. The tips of these rods taper down to a needle like 1.0mm diameter to detect the slightest bite, but still have plenty of back bone to control trophy panfish. The stealthy clear finish on the solid glass blank and black guides won't spook bull panfish that are always looking up to feed. Reel cork handles minimize weight while synthetic burl front and rear trim provide functional elegance (19" uses EVA). These rods all feel amazing and are designed to perform and feel like rods costing 2-5x the $$$.

-All rods come with preinstalled w/4 super strong rod bands to securely hold your favorite reel
-All rods incorpporate ultra light weight black single foot wire guides and/or spinning guides.

**We just recently set up tier pricing for orders with ice rods or rod blanks because USPS started adding a huge surcharge for items over 24". There is a price break point from $14.99 down to $7.99 when you hit 10 rod blanks and/or rods. Generally rods and blanks will be shipped using USPS Ground and Not Priority Mail..

The Extreme 19 is solid fiberglass and is perfect sight fishing rod or a between the legs, stealth mode hole hopping rod. It is derived from the last 19” of our 32” Extreme taper blank. This little work horse of an ice rod has a super soft tip, but like all of our Ice Hopper Line up of rods has plenty of back bone when you need to apply some muscle.

The 24" model is solid fiberglass and is perfect for tight quarters in an ice shelter as a sight rod or for that stealthy, elbows-in-tight, hole hopper. This solid glass rod is designed for 1-3# test lines and comes equipped with 4 Cold Snap reel wraps to securely hold your ice reel.

The 34" model is made from solid fiberglass and isdesigned for use in larger shelters or as a stand-up, open ice, run and gun rod. It can also be used as a dead stick too.

The 32" ML/M model has a solid carbon blank and durable clear coat finish. The blank used on this rod has been a favorite amongst custom rod builders seeking a super sensitive snap jigging walleye stick or touch sensitive panfish stick. It's superior stiffness to weight ratio and balance makes it feel more like a fishing weapon than a normal rod. This solid graphite ice rod will load nicely with 3# test and is designed for 3-6# line. 

The 32" Walleye Special (M/MH) is a solid carbon, beefed up version of the 32" described above. It has the same super sensitive tip but 30% more power (4-10# line) through the midsection of the rod which it allows it to handle larger spoons and jigging style baits for larger quarry, very little added weight. 

48 inch glass
The Extreme 48” is solid fiberglass and ain’t no shanty stick. It was designed for the long rod enthusiast that wants to dabble their jig from a far. This has been a top selling blank of ours for several years to custom rod builders across the country. Now you budget conscious Angler’s can have the same performance without the triple digit price tag.

This rod is also super popular as a late fall or early spring dock rod. Which is why we chose to go with slightly larger aluminum oxide guides to tame line coming from your spinning reel, yet kept super light weight, single foot snake guides near the tip. This rod has tons of bullwhip like flex, but still has serious back bone.
