13 FISHING WICKED PRO ICE ROD
The Wicked Pro series is the "technical hitter" in the 13 Fishing lineup, specifically refined through feedback from professional ice anglers. This 32" Medium-Light (ML) model is the "sweet spot" for versatility, offering the extra length needed for outside "hole-hopping" and the refined taper required to handle everything from jumbo perch to mid-sized walleyes.
Key Performance Features:
- Pro-Tuned Taper: Every tip and taper in the Pro series has been "remade from the core" to meet the exacting specifications of professional anglers. This results in a rod that loads more predictably and offers a cleaner hookset than the standard Wicked models.
- 32" Length (The "Hole-Hopper" Choice): At 32 inches, this rod is longer than your standard 24" or 26" shanty rod. This extra length provides:
- Better Leverage: More "reach" to keep your line away from the ice edges.
- Shock Absorption: A longer blank can absorb the head-shakes of a heavy walleye more effectively.
- Outside Use: The ideal length for standing while fishing, as it keeps your tip closer to the hole without you having to hunch over.
- Medium-Light (ML) Action: This is arguably the most versatile power rating for the "hard water" season. It is light enough to feel the "thump" of a perch but has the backbone to "wail" on walleyes without the rod doubling over completely.
- Enhanced Aesthetics & Build: The Pro series features upgraded guides and a more aggressive, high-performance finish designed to resist the "continuous assault" of frozen environments and heavy use.
