My other rods got tangled up so I brought this little rod just in case... it kept me busy to.the tune of 86+ spot (+ is for those small ones I put back) and no other boating person fishing came anywhere near close to that... paired w Okums Helios... I made an excellent choice with this rod.
I absolutely crush the Lahontan Cutthroat out of Pyramid Lake, Nevada with the 1/2 oz model. Easy to fish... just drop it to the bottom, reel up 2-3 feet, then a quick 2ft pop, let it fall, and repeat. The fish gobble it on the fall.
This is my go to walleye/stocked trout rod. Sensitive enough for a finicky trout bite and strong enough in the spine to handle big walleye. The long handles are comfortable and there made so, switching reels takes no time at all (no taping reels on). I also love these on my jawjackers, there’s enough recoil to set hooks without damaging trout mouths for catch and release fishing. I hope they never stop selling these, I have over 30 rods in the same weight class and these 36” ML are my all time favourite rods. I own 3.
Just sent you a brown trout picture caught on the haat spoon.
I absolutely love the 45" med/heavy casting. Have caught multiple 40"+ pike with them.
Works very well, has a lot of backbone fore bigger fish, yet flexible enough for 8-10 lb lakers. Would recommend
I actually got this rod with jigging from the boat in mind. I’ve put it to use on the ice this winter and it has performed well for me. I am impressed with the sensitivity the tip has. It’s easy to detect strikes but had some backbone at the same time. I found it to be versatile and used it to catch kokanee salmon and lake trout.
5 stars just like Eric with a pole in his hands! Keeps me very warm fishing for steelhead here in NWI🙏
I bought 6 of these to run on my autos they are perfect. Great control when fighting big trout in Milwaukee.
First impression out of the box was to send it back. Wayyyy too light. No way this can handle larger fish. Glad I gave it a shot. Fantastic rod. Sooo much fun handling lakers.
Beautifully made rod! Fantastic customer service and shipping. I recently used it on Lake Ontario for big walleyes. Would love to see a slightly stiffer backbone on this rod for my preference. Very happy to have this one in my Arsenal. Looking forward to owning another one!
I love all of my 45" HAAT casting rods. I have one of each. The new 45" Medium fills the gap between the ML and MH. Each of them play a role depending on what type of fish I am after. I would say the Medium is my new favorite all around rod!
Best rod I own. Perfect for any walleye application. Works well with jaw jackers.
I tied on a Black Shrimp jigging spoon while targeting pup lake trout on Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Wyoming. They absolutely crushed this spoon. I just ordered some more!
Had the chance to test this rod out on many different species of fish ranging from walleye, pike, panfish, and even trout! By far the best jigging rod I have ever put into my hands. Thanks again guys! I’m beyond impressed.
I have just started using them, so still learning.
But I smashed on some Giant Lake Erie smallies last week.
Crazy how the walleye love this spoon. I was so productive on the lime and white that I never switched to another color.
Fishing in Wyoming can be tough, high wind, cloudy then bright sun. The 3/8 ounce jigging spoon has saved the day a few times.
Only been out twice using them at two different lakes, all from shore as the boat ramps are closed for the year Caught a smallie first cast, 2 largemouth and 2 walleye. At a different lake caught 3 lakers, 3 browns, a rainbow and 3 perch. These things rock, I’m torn writing this because I want them all to myself. American made, shipping was incredibly fast, if I could give more stars I would
I’ve tried the spoon four times and I can’t believe how it makes the fish attack it something in the action and the color combination. works great
I was recommended by Lake Superior fishing guide that Haat ice fishing rods were the best. I purchased two rods for trout fishing the Big Lake, Unless you experience these rods for yourself its hard to explain how awesome they are. If you are looking for a great rod along with super customer service, do yourself a favor buy a Haat Rod.
Northern NH averages small lake trout. The lakes I fish average 18” Lakers . I bought the 40” medium spinning and it has been perfect. The quality is amazing! The rod loads up really well but has enough backbone to set the hook! It even handles 1/2oz buck tails, but I wouldn’t go any heavier. I’m glad I had this rod when I hooked into a 6 pound 10 ounce laker. This rod handled the trout perfectly and I’m very impressed. Will be buying the 40” medium heavy spinning rod for my 3/4 ounce tubes or bigger jigs.
After losing several big fish and realizing I was under gunned, I pulled the trigger on a black beauty. The rod is well made, the guides are sturdy and perfect for running braid. The extended butt helps horse the big ones to the hole. This this bends like no other for being a heavier rod, and is also sensitive enough to pick up light biting perch as they cruise through with the Eyes. Definitely will have this rod for a lifetime.

This pole is awesome! First fish on it was a 37 inch laker! Pole handled awesome!
