Mud Hole TV: Fishing Hard Water in Upstate Wisconsin | Custom Rods Go Ice Fishing

On this episode of Mud Hole TV, the crew heads to the frozen north of Wisconsin to test their wildly custom Ice Rod Builds on the hard water.

Meeting up with expert rod builder and instructor Buzz Butters, the gang heads out on the ice to try and land as many species as possible. Not to be out done, Buzz brings Vince Hytry, a renowned guide, angler and rod builder himself, to show the guys exactly how it’s done.

Will these Florida natives be able to withstand the elements and use their truly custom ice rods to land that trophy fish?

Northern Pike, bluegill, rock bass, perch, walleye, crappie... and MORE!

It's time to put our custom Ice Rod Recipes against the most sought after species under the ice.

Temperatures are dropping, it won’t be long before first ice. Those of us who live for hard water fishing are beginning to grin as we prepare all of our gear for another great season.

We spend so many late nights tinkering with tackle in anticipation of the next frozen bite, why not take a closer look at our rods too?

Whether you’re over missing fish, or you really want to take the whole ice fishing experience to the next level, rod building is the key, and we’re happy to help. Get everything from rod blanks, reel seats, and grips, to guides, tip tops, and spring bobbers at everyone’s favorite one stop shop for custom rod building — Mud Hole Custom Tackle.
