I got a kayak now and it is not big enough to haul a regular fishing rod so i was wondering if an ice-fishing rod could still be used for fising in large creeks and lakes?


it will work. i use one for hiking and backpacking it works good for smaller fish but i wouldnt trust it against a pike or bass

A fishing rod is one of the most important tools used to catch fish. Catching fish is deemed as relaxing, invigorating and good eating by many. Many fishermen are very competitive and are looking to catch a particular type of fish. Having the right tool can make your fishing trip much more successful. The size of the fishing rod can greatly depend on the size of fish that you want to catch. Before purchasing a fishing rod you will want to determine the type of fishing that you will be doing. The size of the fish, method of fishing and water conditions all make a huge difference. Knowing ahead of time the type of fish that will be biting can assist you in the decision of purchasing a fishing rod.

Using a fly fishing rod is best suited for catching trout or salmon. In order to catch them you will need a flexible fishing rod. Having the correct fishing rod, line, nets and other tools can ensure that you bring in the fish that you desire. Remember that with salmon fishing you will be holding the rod so make sure that you have a comfortable grip. Many salmon rods are a bit more expensive, but well worth the price when you bring in that prized salmon. If winter fishing is your desire there are ice fishing rods that can be used in frozen lake conditions. These rods allow you to fish from holes in the frozen water. The ice fishing rod is generally of good quality and a bit more durable than other types of rods. The length of the ice rod can vary between 24 and 36 inches in length. You may need to experiment a bit to determine the best fit for you. Everyone is different so it is impossible to say that one-rod or the other is right for everyone.
