Walleyes and perch share an ancestry, so why shouldn’t they share a rod and reel combo? A longer handle puts matters in your hands, unleashing dramatic hooksets on either species. The rod tapers beautifully to provide strength and feel. The only thing missing is the fish batter. "- Brian “Bro” Brosdahl

 57 long years on the ice has exposed Tom Neustrom to the moodiest of perch. Sometimes they sport armor and maraud with the walleyes. Almost as often these denizens of the deep act like sissy panfish.  To counter their picky personality, Neustrom co-developed the stick we call the Finesse Perch.  One little tap with this cane, will make those hump-heads say uncle.      

ROD BENEFITS

• Touchy enough to feel perch pecking
• The strength and versatility to whip aggressive fish

Freshwater beasts of burden they are, those hulking and tireless trout. Trout-head Eric Haataja is equally tireless. He gets his kicks taming their power, be they lakers, browns or steelhead. The full-time guide not only has to outthink them, but also wield a weapon worthy of taming their tenacity. So he went to Frabill and said, “Here, make this.” They did.         

• Soft glass rod plays big fish on light line
• Super-long to power sweeping hooksets

Climbers achieve immortality by summiting Mount Everest – perchers earn it fooling the fussy jumbos of Devils Lake. Perch guide Jason Feldner has been taming “The Devil” for over a decade, and now morphed that experience into the ideal rod for harvesting perch, both deep and shallow. And when called upon it’ll out-muscle a bonus walleye just the same.     

• Oversized guides fend off freezing
• Tip so sensitive perch won’t even know you’re there

 Walt & Poppee are as contemplative as a bull ‘gill. They would rather sit across the table from such a broad-shouldered bruiser and pick its brain than to have it on a platter and pick through its bones. The father and son team compiled everything they know about beating bluegills and present it to you in the form of an ice rod.      

• Designed for feeding small jigs to finicky panfish
• Best shallow water, light-line rod you’ll ever own
