Just had a request from a friend for a 10'6 - 11'6, 2 - 6# line, "noodle" rod for cold-weather (icy guides) walleye fishing. Unfamiliar with this type of fishing, would greatly appreciate any blank and component recommendations.
Many Thanks!!! Mike Re: Noodle blank for walleye

Thanks Bill, appreciated!
Curious about the guide setup, would snakes be beneficial d/t icing? Re: Noodle blank for walleye

Look at the Batson Rainshadow IST1201F.
Very nice, some backbone to help control a bigger fish. Here is a link; [www.schneidersrods.com] Best wishes, Ron Schneider Schneider's Rod Shop Mountain Home, Arkansas [www.schneidersrods.com] mtnron40@yahoo.com 870-424-3381 Re: Noodle blank for walleye

Mike,
I've used Recoil guides on cold weather or ice rods since you can "flick" them with your finger and the ice pops off. Re: Noodle blank for walleye

Mike,
Also, the Pac Bay guides work very well for ice rods for the same reason. No insert, so easy to flick off the ice. Also, for a cold weather rod as you are building, I would use no guide or tip size smaller than a size 8. Take care REW Re: Noodle blank for walleye
