brass segmented fishing lure HANDING M1 8-Segment Swimbait - 3.9in 3/8oz or Mahi Antique Movable Wriggling Fish Charm

I still have a couple old Shimano spinning reels that had drags on the bottom

Not to long ago spending more then $30 on your ice fishing rod/reel would mean you were a rich man, but nowadays you can spend upwards of $80 on a rod alone (Thorne Bros) and easily drop another $30 on a matching reel (my wallet agrees with me)

The 7' rod gives you enough length for good casting distance while staying manageable and comfortable throughout the day

Satisfying storage needs for a variety of tackle
