[spear foot 1]

 Looking at getting a new panfish rod or two this winter and since I'm going to the ice fishing show next weekend I was wondering if any of you guys use a thorne bros. rod and reels.  I have heard some good things about there rods and jason mitchells also. Just wodering what some of your thoughts and experinces have been?

If you are looking for a lighter set up, try The HT line of "Ice Blues" rods. I have a few of them also and the pole is so light u don't need a spring! I love the 32 incher for forage minnow spoons in deep water for them crappies! :fishing2:

Frabills panfish poppers are awesome for panfish, if you want something for multi-species try the new clam rods and a spring bobber from frabill. They both work great!
