I live in northern Wisconsin and most of my ice fishing is perch, crappies, bluegills... ect. When I have to downsize my tungsten jigs, this is the best rod that I've ever used. After the first month or so our lake is pretty filled with shacks. Finesse is the name of the game. This rod is so sensitive with a perfect backbone, as it should for the price. I have my Perch Seeker and Pan Finesse as the ultimate 1-2 punch. If you have ever fished a legend elite, it has that kind of control. DO NOT let the small package fool you, these are worth every single penny.

Excellent rod, has the sensitivity to detect the lightest bites and enough backbone to set the hooks when fishing deep.

Bottom line, St. Croix never disappoints. Great quality!

I purchased this several weeks ago, it hasn't shipped but St. Croix has taken my money. I have attempted to call customer service on 5 different instances and have sent many emails via the webpage and to customer support straight from my email....and zero response from St. Croix. Very disappointing, and I now have to try to get my money back as i don't think they will every communicate with me or send me the products that they have taken my money for.

This rod has a strong backbone for walleye fishing but is sensitive enough for perch fishing as well. It is the perfect length for ice house fishing. We love this perch/eye rod so much that we have 3 of them.
