Ice rods at Jahikala

An ice rod is built for short, precise winter fishing, controlled jigging, quick bite detection and comfortable handling with cold hands.
At Jahikala you’ll find a wide selection, best prices and affordable ice rods, so you can put together a proper winter setup without overpaying.

The right rod makes it easier to “read” the lure, keep a steady rhythm and react fast when the bite is just a tiny tap.
Are you fishing light for roach and perch, or do you want a firmer rod for deeper water and heavier jigs?

When does an ice rod make the biggest difference?

It matters most when the bite is subtle and you need a sensitive tip that shows what’s happening under the ice.
It also matters when you fish actively and move hole to hole, a comfortable rod keeps your hand fresh for longer.

If you combine an ice rod with a good reel, depth control becomes smoother and your lure work looks cleaner.
That usually means more bites, because your presentation stays consistent.

How to choose the right ice rod

How to choose ice rod length? Shorter rods feel nimble and are great in a tent, longer rods give a bit more control and can feel nicer when you fish outside in the open.
How to choose action? A softer tip helps with delicate mormyshka fishing, a stiffer rod gives better control with heavier jigs and more aggressive lure work.

Grip comfort matters, winter fishing is all about hands, so choose a handle that feels secure even with gloves.
At Jahikala you can compare a wide selection at the best prices and pick the best value ice rod for your style.

Can ice rods be used outside winter?

Some ice rods can also be used for ultralight open-water fishing, for example from a dock or for tiny lures in small waters.
But their main purpose is ice season, that’s where the short length and sensitivity really shine.
