The 13 Fishing Snitch Pro is a hardwater spinning rod series designed for panfish and walleye ice fishing. Four lengths (23", 27", 29", 32") cover the range from tight-quarters tip-up fishing to longer jigging strokes for suspended walleye. The series steps up from the base Snitch by combining a solid graphite blank body with a Flex-Core E-glass tip, this hybrid construction provides graphite's blank backbone for hook-setting power while the glass tip extends sensitivity for subtle panfish bites and reduces the stiffness that causes missed strikes.
Construction centers on the Flex-Core quick-action tip, polished stainless-steel guides rated for freezing temperatures, and a custom Evolve carbon handle. A Hi-Vis tip section is standard for bite detection in low-light ice shack conditions. The carbon handle provides a secure, non-slip grip in wet conditions. Rod weight is unpublished but is in the ultra-light category given the short lengths. The four lengths are all spinning configuration. The 23" (SNP-23) is the shortest option, suited for low-ceiling tip-up shacks or jigging in cramped quarters.
The 27" (SNP-27) and 29" (SNP-29) are mid-range general jigging lengths covering most panfish applications. The 32" (SNP-32) provides the longest stroke, useful for jigging larger presentations or fishing in elevated seating arrangements. No power ratings or line weights are listed, typical for premium ice rods which are sized implicitly for light-line panfish and walleye applications.

A closer look at notable models.
Shortest model in the series at 23". Intended for tight ice shack conditions or anglers who prefer minimal stroke length when made for crappie and perch directly beneath the hole.
Longest at 32", this model suits elevated seating, larger jigging motions, or situations where additional reach matters such as fishing open holes or made for suspended walleye with wide jig sweeps.
