Tackle Week 2023: The best new fishing rods, reels, lines, electronics, tools and accessories

Best Ice Rod

ICE ROD

Technique-specific rods are popular with open-water anglers, and these Meegs rods aim to become equally popular on the hardwater. They’ve been designed by wintertime whitefish and lake trout specialist James Meger to perfectly present nose-heavy jigs, those lethal lures that attract fish and trigger bites by tapping into the bottom silt. Sporting full cork handles and fashioned on carbon-fibre blanks with high-vis, fluorescent-green tips, they come in 32- and 36-inch models.
