Could it be that your not using the right rod and reel.Jimmy_1 wrote:I dunno about that Steve
I fished WBay a lot this winter.
Not many quality eyes were caught! Keep in mind we put the shack right over a hole one of our buddy's pulled a 10lb walter out of.
It was not repeated and 8 guys were fishing it day and night all season.
They could have been nibbling ever so delicately and you weren't feeling the bite come through the line and rod.
Are there high end ice fishing rods that have better sensitivity than the low budget CTC special?
But who needs all that high end ice fishing equipment.
Luck, and a good solid tip up with a big red flag is all you need.
