This 13 FISHING Thermo Ice combo is a ready-to-fish ice fishing kit. It pairs a specific rod and reel designed for the cold. The rod is 28 inches long with a Medium (M) power rating. It's built on a durable fiberglass blank, which is tough and has a bit more flex – great for feeling bites and fighting fish through the ice. It has stainless steel guides with polished inserts to help your line flow smoothly, even in freezing temps. The reel is the 'Thermo Ice' spinning reel. It has a lightweight graphite body and rotor to minimize weight and prevent your hands from getting too cold from holding metal. It features 2 ball bearings for smooth operation, an aluminum spool (which is nicer and more durable than plastic), instant anti-reverse (so the handle doesn't jerk backward on a strike), and a soft-touch handle knob that's more comfortable to grip with cold fingers. The gear ratio is 5.2:1, which is a good all-around speed for retrieving lures. This combo is designed to be sensitive enough to detect light bites but strong enough to handle a decent-sized walleye, pike, or lake trout. Grab it, drill a hole, and you're set for a day on the ice.
