Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the BaitStriker Heavy and Medium Heavy rods?

Both are 107 cm long. Heavy is the more powerful option, worth choosing when your usual bait and added weight put more load on the rod.

Does the Heavy model have a visible bite indicator tip?

Yes. The model has a Hi-Vis Quick Tip that lets you watch the rod tip bend and release tension.

Which reel is suitable for the BaitStriker Heavy rod?

Choose a spinning reel with a foot that fits the rod's reel seat and a drag that releases smoothly. Choose the spool capacity according to the fishing line you use and the depth of your fishing spot.

When is the BaitStriker Heavy the right choice?

Choose Heavy if your usual bait rig requires a more powerful rod. If you use smaller bait and a lighter weight, consider the Medium Heavy model. Both have the same length and type of rod tip.

Our recommendation

Match the Heavy rod primarily to your bait and rig. Lower the bait to your fishing depth and see how far its weight pulls the tip down. If the tip remains strongly bent, first try reducing the weight or setting the rod at a different angle in the holder. After making the adjustment, check that the line moves freely in the hole and that the rod tip can continue to move when a fish bites.

When fishing for pike, pair the baitfish with a leader resistant to pike teeth and check its connections every time you take the rig out of the water. Set the reel's drag according to the line and leader, and test it by pulling the line through the rod guides. Position the holder so that you can pick up the rod and control the line without pressing the holder or handle against the edge of the ice hole. This makes the transition from waiting to playing the fish smoother.

Heavy ice fishing rod for a heavier bait rig

BaitStriker Heavy is a 107 cm ice fishing rod for anglers who fish with bait through an ice hole and need more power for their rig. The Hi-Vis tip helps you visually monitor for bites before picking up the rod.
