The 13 Fishing Heatwave is a specialized ice fishing system designed for the angler who needs a “get-it-done” setup that won’t break the bank. Known for its rugged construction, this combo is engineered to survive the harsh conditions of the “hard water” season, whether you are braving the wind while hole-hopping or relaxing in a heated ice shanty.

Key Features:

• Reliable Fiberglass Blank: The rod is built from a durable fiberglass material. In the world of ice fishing, fiberglass is prized for its extreme toughness and slower, more forgiving action, which helps keep fish pinned when they are biting tentatively in cold water.
• Premium EVA Handle: The rod features a high-grade EVA foam grip. EVA is an excellent insulator, making it much more comfortable to hold in sub-zero temperatures than harder materials, and it provides a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet.
• Polished Stainless Guides: Outfitted with stainless steel guides that include polished inserts. This smooth finish helps minimize line friction and makes it significantly easier to clear away ice buildup a common headache for winter anglers.
• Graphite Reel Construction: The reel utilizes a lightweight graphite body and rotor. This choice reduces the overall weight of the setup, preventing fatigue during long days of jigging, and offers natural corrosion resistance.
• Gloves-On Operation: With a 4.8:1 gear ratio and a contoured handle knob, the reel is designed for steady, controlled retrieves. The oversized knob ensures you have a firm grip even when wearing thick winter gloves.
