Power Noodle vs Carbon Rods
The first step towards building your custom ice rod is choosing your rod blank material. About half of our builds are power noodles and half are carbon fiber, so it really depends on your fising style and your target species.
Power noodles, made from fiberglass, are best for smaller species and sight fishing by watching the rod tip. While carbon fiber rods are best for larger species and feeling the bite from the rod tip down to the handle.
Power Noodle
Style: Visually seeing the bite from the tip (including a panfish upbite)
Species: Crappie, panfish, etc. but can handle most fish
Unbelievable sensitivity but with plenty of backbone for when you hook up with a larger fish
Carbon
Style: Feeling the bite all the way from the tip to the handle
Species: Panfish, walleye, white fish, pike, monster lake trout, sturgeon
Customizable action (from Light up to Heavy) depending on the target species and application
120,000+ Customizable Options
Length
Power Noodles: Choose between lengths of 26" and 40"
Carbon: Depending on action (Light to Heavy) choose lengths between 26" and 45"
Blank Color
Power Noodles: Black, White, Neon Green, Neon Orange, Pink, Blue, Purple, and Metallic Red
Carbon: Black and Neon Green for some actions
Thread Color

Handle Material
