I’ve been using 36” ice rods to vertical jig with sonar (video game fishing) from a kayak. I’m looking for something that is light weight, and with the same sensitivity, but in the 5-6.5’ range in length. I would still primarily be vertical jigging with the rod, but I want something that will also allow me to sharpshoot crappie that appear on the sonar 20-30’ in front of me. I’ve been looking hard at the Major Craft Speedstyle S63 UL/SFS. The ice rods have a solid carbon tip, and I thinking that rod would be a good match for my style of fishing. But, I want to make sure there are not better options in the $2-300 price range before making a purchase.

Thanks,
Mark
