Under the ice, work is done at a small distance and with limited space around the opening, so the winter fishing rod has a different task than the standard shore tackle. There are short winter patterns and ready sets with bait, fishing line and signaling element. The choice starts with the way of leading: artificial bait with stiffer control or fine rigging with a distinct ark.

Winter fishing rod ASSERI SOLID FLAT 55cm is a lightweight and robust construction with wide guides designed for artificial baits. The red tip area facilitates bites monitoring, and the cork handle and screw reel holder form the working part. The model has three guides, so before an outing it is wise to check their alignment and the free run of the line.

The short fishing rod allows the movements to remain directly above the hole, but do not choose the hardness only by feeling in the store. Consider it the weight and type of artificial lure, as well as the amplitude you want to set it. Too rough movement spoils fine play, and too soft configuration makes clear control difficult.

Ready-made sets are another approach: Some of them combine balalaika, tungsten mormishka, precision ark and fluorocarbon line, while others use balalaika with cork handle, cattail, winter shine and strong fishing line. That doesn't make them interchangeable. Compare the lure and signaling with the technique you will be practicing instead of choosing only by the number of parts involved. The difference is felt even at the first descent under the ice.

Keep the line clear of ice and watch the top or ark on each descent. Wide guides help with winter work, but the frozen water on them can still restrict movement. Clean carefully, without impact and bending. If you mount a reel to the fishing rod, set the drag before the first feed; correction with cooled fingers is more uncomfortable.

After fishing, dry the fishing line, guides and reel-holder, and the moistened fishing line left to ventilate. Review the injury tip and put away the bait so that the hook does not rest on the form. When transporting, keep the short tackle from being pressed between heavier bags. Arranged preparation is especially important in winter when minor damage is difficult to remove on the open ice.
