And nice looking with my red Kast King.
I own a few Haat ice rods, and they are all fabulous. The 40” medium heavy is great for my lake trout trips in deeper water and for handling larger lures, dodgers, and the like. It has the spine to handle the task and the feel to keep you engaged.
Tried my new rod today. It hauled the slough sharks with ease! Tried my best Zoolander........ Not lol! Dave caught the big one that day!
I like it but I like some of the other Haat rod jig colors better.
Definitely one of the best rods I have ever used. Feels good in the hand and very reactive. Caught a 30” Lake trout this weekend and the rod preformed amazing! Great long fight with no problems at all! Hands down an amazing addition to my fishing hut! Thanks HAAT for your amazing rods!
Awesome rod able to handle any fish!!! Love it!!
I have two mediums and one medium heavy. Best Ice Rods money can buy. These Rods pin fish.
I have bought a number of the big brand tungsten jigs on the market, i find that Haat jigs out perform them. Well crafted, they seem smaller in size, but same weight and density, with a sharp wire hook and keeper, which is great with live bait. I like to go with as small a presentation as possible, and these jigs are the way to go, with more hooks up than the others out there. 👍👍
Absolute dynamite.
Must have in the boat at all times.
The 45” MH handles fish very nice.
I took it to northern AK.
Sad part is I lost it and going to definitely order me a new one for next year.
Thanks again Haat.
Very good quality jigging spoon. Excellent hooks and finish. My personal best 31” laker was caught on this bait.
These rods are by far worth every dollar, they keep fish pinned, and the eyes don’t ice up, I’m very happy and would highly recommend , I own a few now. Will be buying more
Used my new jigging spoons up north this past week. Caught all sorta of fish on them, crappies, gills, perch and walleye.
Love the design! However, the hook could be stronger for the price and at $6 a pop for a one ounce jig it's a bit excessive. If the price was more reasonable I'd buy way more. Looks great on our Dragon Tail Twitcher bait at Horkerbaits.com.
Exactly what I was looking for, a compact casting rod for small areas, easy to carry, good feel and stiffness.
Ordered the 1/2 and 3/4oz Tungsten jigs. Shipping was quick and the jigs are great. The lake I ordered them for requires Tungsten. Good strong hooks and bullet proof paint. They worked great for lake trout. Thank you Haat!!!
Have not got to use it on ice yet but it is an awesome rod for shooting docks for crappie and fishing where others can’t. Has been a great rod and it’s in the boat ready to go for next time
This was my first Haat rod and I love it. Ordered it for jigging heavy jigs in deep water. Caught 50-60 Lakers with it so far and have ZERO complaints. Will order from Haat again! Great product and great service!!
Best ice rods I've found on the market durable and they look good paired with my Shimano Sanford 2500HD series spinning reels I would highly recommend them for catching big Lakers
Hooked into a 15 pound lake trout and it handled the fish perfectly! Awesome action that absorbs big head shakes great.
Finest ice rod I have ever held! Made for monster Macs.
Nothing compares that I tried
This is the .30-06 of the Haat lineup in my opinion, and the right rod to start your collection with. I've used it primarily to jig small to mid sized spoons for trout, and I find it the ideal tool for that task. Enough back bone to snap small hardware erratically and get a solid hook set in 20-30 feet of water, but paired with the progressive bend under load to keep fish pinned. If you're targeting walleye, or fishing in deeper water with bigger baits, I'd rock the 31" "Black Beauty" or 40" Medium as they have significantly faster actions.
I've used this rod twice now on flaming gorge wy. I love the feel of the rod as well as the action for the bigger fish!! Just ordered the med rod for the same lake and can't wait to put it to the test on some big Lakers. Well worth every penny!!
