The Slipknot is the rod I reach for when targeting bigger gamefish through the ice. Designed for deadsticking walleyes and other mid sized game fish, its soft, moderate tip lets fish load the rod naturally without feeling resistance. As the fight begins, the blank transitions into a strong backbone that absorbs head shakes and keeps fish pinned all the way to the hole. If you're looking for a dependable deadstick rod that excels with live bait and puts more big fish on the ice, the Slipknot is built for the job.
