13 FISHING WICKED LONGSTEM ICE COMBO

13 Fishing Wicked Ice Combo
The Wicked Ice Combo is widely considered the "gold standard" for high-performance spinning setups on the ice. While other rods rely on a "noodle tip" for visual cues, the Wicked is built for the tactile angler someone who wants to feel the vibration of the jig and the faint "thump" of a strike through the rod blank itself.

The Rod: Precision Engineering:

• Toray Graphite Blank: 13 Fishing uses premium Japanese Toray graphite, which is renowned for its high strength-to-weight ratio. This makes the rod incredibly light and "crisp," allowing for a lightning-fast hookset while maintaining enough "backbone" to land a surprise walleye or bass.
• Evolve Carbon Reel Seat: By utilizing a carbon seat, the rod avoids the "deadening" effect of plastic. It acts as an amplifier, transmitting every vibration from the blank directly into your palm.
• Performance Guides: These are engineered to handle the abrasive nature of ice while remaining lightweight to preserve the rod's natural balance and action.
• The Reel: Cold-Weather Specialist
  Defrost Reel Lubricant: Most standard reel greases turn into "molasses" when the temperature drops below zero. This reel comes pre-treated with Defrost lube, ensuring the internal gears remain smooth and the handle turns effortlessly in the most brutal conditions.
• Glove-Friendly Long Stem: The "Long Stem" design provides extra clearance between the rod and the reel. This allows you to fish comfortably with heavy winter gloves or mittens without your knuckles hitting the bail or spool.
• Fat Bail & Instant Anti-Reverse: The oversized bail is built to take a beating, and the Instant Anti-Reverse ensures there is zero "back-play" in the handle crucial for maintaining line tension when a fish strikes on the drop.
