looking to get a good ice rod

what do you die hard ice fisherman use for rods and what do you think would be a good ice fishing rod. thanks

This year Santa wanted me to do some ice fishing. I usually fish all year long but we haven't had much ice to speak of in a few years. I did get the St. Croix Legends rod, it is awsome and I highly recommend. take a look

this is the link for the Frabill. I noticed it had a spring tip as well. I really like the spring. Sometimes they hit so light its nice to have that ultra sensitive tip.
