Perfect for the winter season, our January Catch of the Month winner will receive the Bass Pro Shops Extreme Arctic Ice Angler Fishing Rod and Reel Combo, in addition to an Ice Arctic Angler Tip Up. Bass Pro Shops Extreme Arctic Ice Angler Combo has everything you’re looking for in an ultralight spinning setup for hard water: toughness, sensitivity, power, and a great feel. This reel is smooth and precise, with a quality 4-bearing system that includes Powerlock™ instant anti-reverse, a double-anodized aluminum spool, a soft touch handle knob for nonslip winding, and an upsized line roller to give anglers an even smoother line retrieval.
The ice rod has just the right mix of sensitivity and strength; it’s built on a Bass Pro Shops ShockFlex hybrid blank, with all the vibration pickup of graphite plus the forgiveness and hook-holding power of fiberglass. The rod is fitted with stainless steel guides and stainless steel inserts for smooth line flow and less ice build up, EVA/rubberized cork handles, and graphite compression rings for precise reel placement. And fortunately for you, it’s all at a price that won’t put a freeze on your spending this winter.
Our winner will also receive a Bass Pro Shops Extreme Ice Arctic Angler Tip-Up, built to perform flawlessly when winter really rears its ugly head. Constructed with a durable molded base and spool, the Extreme Ice Angler Tip-Up features a corrosion-resistant stainless steel spool shaft, strike indicator spring and strike indicator shaft. The Tip-Up’s strike indicator felt flag is highly-visible and freeze-resistant. And with an integrated measuring board, it allows you to quickly size up your catch.
