The Snitch Ice Rod
Entry-to-mid-tier ice rod for panfish and walleye across three standard jigging lengths
The Snitch Ice Rod is 13 Fishing's entry-level ice rod, sold as an all-around panfish and walleye tool accessible to beginners while still carrying functional features for experienced ice anglers. The Flex-Core tip provides sensitivity both by sight. A visible bend indicator. And by touch through the blank, covering the two main detection methods ice anglers use when watching for subtle bites in cold, slow-moving presentations.
The blank is solid graphite, providing backbone for hooksets while the Flex-Core tip absorbs the initial load. Guides are stainless steel to resist freeze-up during cold sessions. The custom Evolve handle uses high-grade cork and a lock-down reel seat for secure reel placement during jigging. All three lengths share the same Quick Tip power designation. The lineup covers 20", 25", and 29", the three most common ice rod sizes for panfish and walleye at varied depths.
The 20" suits shallow-ice situations and tight shelters; the 25" is the standard mid-depth general-purpose length; the 29" provides additional stroke for deeper jigging and accommodates anglers who prefer a longer sweep. Retail is approximately $36–37 across all three.

Model notes
2 of 3 modelsShortest option. The 20" is optimized for shallow-water panfish in tight portable shelters or situations where a compact rod reduces interference with close-proximity drill holes and neighboring anglers.
Longest option. The 29" adds jigging stroke and improves feel through the blank at deeper depths where line mass dampens feedback. Also practical for anglers fishing from a seated shack position who want more arm clearance above the hole.
