20 best winter fishing rods with AliExpress

Since domestic fishermen are among the most ardent fans of winter fishing, they should be equipped with special equipment. As a leading element in all the variety of things (and the unspoken symbol of winter fishing), popular short rods, which have received the laconic name "fishing rods", are used. On average, the length of such rods varies in the range of 40-60 centimeters, however, there are longer models that are distinguished by a high degree of versatility - they can be used not only in winter for ice fishing, but also in summer, for showering from the boat’s side.

The main parameters of any winter fishing rod are:

• length in assembled / disassembled (optional) states;
• whip stiffness;
• whip manufacturing material;
• type and quality of the place for the installation of coils;
• handle trim material;
• weight and ergonomic indicators.

With the gradual development of the Aliexpress platform, a large part of Chinese companies producing goods in large batches and at a much more attractive price than recognized giants of the fishing world have entered the Russian market. As recommendations to purchase and maintain your budget, we selected twenty of the best fishing rods for winter fishing found in the open spaces of Aliexpress, which received extremely high ratings from customers.

Best winter fishing rods: price up to 300 rubles

The expediency of buying such fishing rods depends entirely on the needs of the user. In fact, in some cases, their operational durability turns out to be an order of magnitude higher than premium models, although obviously weaker materials go into production.

5 Bobing

Simple and at the same time reliable fishing rod for winter fishing with a whole list of advantages. First, it is a coil equipped with a metal brake. The mechanism holds the fishing line securely and prevents it from unwinding, even if there is a large fish on the hook. Also, the coil has a long lever, which makes it easy to wind up with gloves. Secondly, the handle rod, made of warm carbon fiber or cork. Sellers with Aliexpress offer a choice of two options, while the choice of material does not affect the price. And third, a carbon fiber whip with a solid base. Breaking it is extremely difficult, even with improper transportation.

Finding flaws in such a simple structure is difficult, and there are no negative reviews from fishermen.Of course, this fishing rod does not have enough stars from the sky, but its cost should also be taken into account, and the seller, judging by the same reviews, is very attentive to the packaging and delivery of goods, which is also a big plus.

4 HAODIAOZHE

Not always the word "quality" is synonymous with the word "expensive." Winter fishing rods from HAODIAOZHE direct evidence of this. Relatively inexpensive product received a lot of feedback from buyers. Primarily praise the practicality of fishing rods and the absence of fragile elements, often failing. True, there are some claims to the shipment. In particular, they note poor packaging, but such comments are units and they are dated several years earlier.

Before us is a simple fishing rod with no extra elements. The body is made of warm carbon fiber, and the rod itself consists of two parts, which are easily assembled and disassembled. The whip is also carbon fiber, with one ring at the end. The disadvantages include the lack of friction brakes. Fixing the fishing line is performed using the clamping mechanism, which is not very convenient, especially during active fishing. The coil handle is also not very comfortable. A small holder can deliver a number of inconveniences, especially if you try to quickly twist a fishing line in large winter gloves.

3 Gada Fishing Tackle Trade Fishing Rod

The winter fishing rod from Sougayilang (whose distributor is Gada Fishing Tackle Trade) is not yet so popular with buyers, but the trends of good equipment for productive fishing are already outlined. To say that it is very different in quality from competitive models is impossible, as it is impossible to call an ideal delivery process for an order to a buyer. Most of the claims relate to the appearance of the fishing rod: they say, the whole structure does not look very reliable and has every chance of becoming a commodity for one season.

The whip of winter gear is made of fiberglass, the level of resistance of which is directly dependent on the perceived loads and temperature regime. The length of the entire fishing rod is 50 centimeters, which makes it ideal for fishing under the ice. On the case there is a mount under the coil, which, in fact, does not inspire confidence in terms of durability. As a result, Gada Fishing Tackle Trade Fishing Rod occupies the third line of the rating, but, alas, it didn’t have enough for a more serious rise.

2 XC LOHAS Mini Ice Fishing Rod

The product manufactured by XC LOHAS provides consumers with some variability, which other applicants by rating cannot boast. If you disassemble the design of two variations exploded, it turns out that between them there are a couple of significant differences.

A cheaper variation is based on the use of a stainless alloy (for making fastening elements) and an anti-slip material EVA (the originality of which is questionable at this level of cost). An expensive option offers the buyer a cork handle, reliable fastenings for mounting coils, and indeed a more impressive appearance. In both cases, fiberglass is used as the material of the whip, and the total length of the gear does not exceed 60 centimeters. If it were not for the problems with logistics and the preservation of parcels on the way, such a fishing rod could boldly claim the highest line, especially since the cost is perfectly correlated with the nominal quality.

1 Rompin Ice Fishing Rod

In the first place in the ranking is the winter fishing rod from the company Rompin, which in the recent past experienced the same problems as the competitors from XC LOHAS. Namely, the logistics often pumped up, the goods came in half broken, and in general the build quality left much to be desired.To date, all these shortcomings have been eliminated almost completely. Defective fishing rods are sometimes found, but for streaming goods from China, this is quite a standard situation.

Now let's talk about the design features. The fishing rod is made in the only version with a good cork handle, long enough for a comfortable grip (even with two hands). Hard whip, not loose, made of fiberglass, reacts to the bite very accurately. The holder looks coil securely, but there were complaints about fixing screws for poor fixation. In the end, the company Rompin seriously took up the process of manufacturing and delivery, for which deservedly received the leading line in the ranking.

Best winter fishing rods: price from 300 to 450 rubles

The essence of buying expensive Chinese fishing poles is barely perceptible in the presence of their cheap counterparts, but has several good reasons. Sometimes a few rubles can decide the question of what material will be used to braid the handle, what the whip will be made of, and what is the overall build quality of the stream production at the factory.

The selection of goods was carried out taking into account the cost of delivery from China to Russia, so the real cost may be slightly below the threshold limit.

5 Sougayilang

One of the main factors that fishermen pay attention to when choosing a winter fishing rod is the material from which the handle is made. Metals in the cold freeze quickly, and to hold them in hand, especially without gloves, becomes uncomfortable. In part, this problem is solved with plastic inserts, but the best option was and remains a cork. In this model, the handle is made of a single piece of cork. Here it is not easy pad or insert, and a full bar, creating comfort when holding.

The rest of the fishing rod is not much stands out. The coil clamping mechanism is standard and is used on spinning, and the telescopic whips are hidden in the body, which on the one hand is a plus, since the rod when assembled is as compact as possible. And with another drawback, since it will be difficult to replace the broken element of the whip. We'll have to pick up the item in strict accordance with the permissible length and diameter. Of course, it will not be easy to break the carbon fiber whip, and this can be done solely through carelessness, but experienced fishermen know that such situations are not uncommon.

4 VKTECH

Fishing rod has long ceased to be associated with a bamboo stick and a hook on a rope. Modern models are not only well-developed functionality, but also external attractiveness, combined with convenience and ergonomics. This model consists of two modules: the holder and the whip itself. The holder is made of metal and covered with plastic, and the clamping mechanism has a rotating drum that squeezes the whip and does not allow it to fall out. By the way, here we find the first drawback - the material of which the clip is made is not of sufficient quality. Outwardly, it resembles brass, and it would be excellent, but in fact we have before us the standard Chinese silumin, not distinguished by strength and durability.

Simply put, such fishing rod is hardly suitable for intensive use, but for ordinary fishing enthusiasts this is a real find, conveniently assembled and not taking up much space in the inventory. In addition, in case of breakage, the whip can be easily replaced, since the clamping mechanism is not designed for a specific sample. Any spare part from another fishing rod will do.

3 Angler & Cyclist's Ultra-light Winter Fishing Rod

On the third line is a very conspicuous set from the manufacturing company Bobing, the distributor of whose products is Angler & Cyclist trading company. The main parameters of these fishing rods are, perhaps, the best suited for ice fishing on a purely small fish.The length from the top of the whip to the end of the stick is only 43.5 centimeters, which provides minimal sensitivity to the resistance of prey during biting. But to identify effective, but weak attack, it will be quite difficult. This fact contributes a lot to the stiffness of the whip, leveled by the gradual adaptation of the angler to the inventory.

The main difference between the models of winter fishing rods lies in the decoration of the handle. When choosing a “soft” type material to the consumer (judging by the seller’s description), fishing rods with a cork or foam rubber handle will be available, while the “standard” type can only offer rough plastic and lacquered (cheap) wood.

2 XC LOHAS Portable Mini Ice Fishing Rod

XC LOHAS Portable Mini Ice Fishing Rod is the very rare case when the same company acts as a producer and distributor of goods. This winter fishing pole is markedly different from a number of others in its category - both in terms of a new level of cost, and in that it significantly surpasses all others in styling and nominal quality.

The body and handle of the fishing rod are made using three conceptually different materials: EVA, fiberglass and a chromium-containing metal alloy. Carbon whip perfectly reacts to the bite and does not disregard even weak attacks from predatory fish. And everything would be just great ...

... if it were not for the big difference between nominal and real quality. Defective products come across every third parcel, which is of course unacceptable for a serious manufacturer. As a result: after unpacking, consumers have to “fix” malfunctions in the order themselves, the benefit is that there has not yet been seen a serious breakdown.

1 TomTop Fishing Rod

Stock fishing rod from the TomTop trading company, the nominal manufacturer of which is (the Chinese) LIXADA. Consumers who have managed to buy this product, remain in complete delight of the quality and reliability of its constituent elements.

In fact, this fishing rod is an all-season element of equipment that is not shameful to use either when under ice fishing or when fishing from a boat. The high stiffness of the whip allows the product to survive the attacks of even large predators, and the ability to “hook” the fishing line of a decent diameter can ensure unhindered fishing in the winter for vertical or sheer lures. The handle of the fishing rod is made of widespread EVA material that prevents slippage and withstands significant temperature differences. In turn, the “body” of the rig is equipped with holders for mounting the coil, and the whip is equipped with far from simple ceramic rings. Definitely a worthy set, the cost of which does not exceed 400 rubles.

The best serial winter fishing rods

Under the serial fishing rods refers to the abundance of sizes for one particular model. In this case, we are talking about the full length of equipment, starting from the tip of the whip and ending with the handle. Chinese manufacturers prefer to create 60, 80 and 100 centimeter winter fishing rods, with two, three and four telescopic sections, respectively.

5 FISH KING

This model could be attributed to professional fishing rods, but it does not hold out to them, although it has its own claims to it. First of all, the design catches the eye. Futuristic fishing rod with smooth curves and non-standard shapes. It looks very attractive, especially when you consider that the seller in AliExpress offers several color solutions. As for the functional, here it lies entirely on the reel, the main advantage of which is the friction brake, that is, this rod is designed for long-distance casts, and when fishing in the hole, this mechanism is not needed at all.

Also, the coil is equipped with two handles for convenient winding of the fishing line, and the mount is made of metal, which is very rare among fishing rods in this price range. As for ergonomics and convenience, here, too, everything is at the highest level. The handle is comfortable and made of soft carbon fiber that does not freeze in the cold. True, plastic is only a tip, but it is quite enough for a comfortable grip.

4 Yumoshi

A large number of various “bells and whistles” and additional functions on the rods often do not help, but rather interfere. There is nothing superfluous in this model, and on the one hand this is a plus, as the fishing rod turned out to be simple and unpretentious, and on the other hand it is a minus. Firstly, the coil fastening mechanism is not very well implemented. It uses a simple spinning system, with one washer holding the coil legs. The whip holding system is also not particularly credible. This is a plastic latch, and at the very whip there are notches for which the handle holds it. The disadvantage is that in case of breakage of the first section of the whip, it will not be possible to replace it with an identical one in diameter.

The model has advantages, in particular, a corkwood handle, pleasant to the touch and not freezing in the cold. And of course the price. You should not expect high-tech electronic solutions from a fishing rod for 200 rubles, but here you can put any coil, from the friction to the simplest model.

3 Hewolf

Winter daughters, like coils, rarely have extensive functionality, but this manufacturer has tried to compensate for this drawback. The rod is equipped with an inert reel with several additional features. For example, a retainer line at a certain length. Here it is not easy burr, for which the fishing line is fastened, and the button that memorizes the length and the next time you lock it.

Such a mechanism is convenient, especially if you have to fish with gloves, but it should be understood that the reel is made of plastic, and even the holder's mechanism, which means that large fish will easily tear it off and spin the fishing line, so you should not rely on the button. But not all fishing rod is plastic. For example, the handle is made of carbon fiber or cork. The choice of the seller offers two options, and the cost is not affected. The lid of the whip holder, according to the seller, is made of stainless steel, but there is also some trick here, because in reality it’s all the same Chinese silumin, which is inferior to a real stainless steel in terms of strength and durability.

2 DAGEZI OMW1341

DAGEZI did not bother with the construction of its own fishing rods, using the well-known formula as a basis, adding characteristic features and presenting it to the world community. The resulting product has not got a bad look, low cost and considerable margin of safety, which, according to users, is enough for at least three to four seasons.

Undoubtedly, the material of the handle has become the weakest point of the winter fishing rod: the EVA sheath is not of the highest quality and is carefully packed in plastic, which, in actual fact, is very annoying to some consumers by its mere presence. The first section of the telescopic whip is reinforced with an additional layer of carbon fiber, therefore most of the fatigue fractures are observed in the upper sections. The rest of the serious claims and implicit shortcomings are not observed - everything looks quite balanced and interesting. The cost of a short fishing rod (60 cm) does not exceed 300 rubles, and a long (100 cm) does not even reach 400.

1 XC LOHAS Ice Fishing Rod

It is rather difficult to choose the best among essentially the same type of applicants, since their characteristics do not differ from each other globally.However, XC LOHAS Ice Fishing Rod has managed to convince us (and not only us) of its exclusivity regarding the parameters of quality and operational durability.

It is very difficult to say how long such a fishing rod will last (with adequate use): all the elements look reliable, and the materials used inspire healthy optimism. The handle is made of epoxy rubber, which does not allow the fishing rod to slip in the hands of the angler. The whip is hard, carbon fiber, responds well to strong and weak bites. According to the standard, there is a base for installing the coil, since, alas, it is not included. It is also noteworthy that these fishing rods can be used not only for ice fishing - they show excellent results when fishing from a boat and to a cascade downstream of small rivers.

The best professional fishing rods for winter fishing

Professional fishing rods are not the most popular product among AliExpress buyers. The fact is that when choosing such an instrument it is necessary to hold it in your hands and appreciate all the advantages, and it is worth it. However, the site offers a lot of interesting models equipped with electronic coils or self-intercepting systems. Such fishing rods are perfect for sport fishing or when fishing for large fish. Most low-cost models simply can not cope with such a load.

5 Badgerking

Professional and experienced fishermen have been collecting their collections for years, which include both rods and various baits. For a beginner, this often becomes a problem, as he needs to buy a whole list of accessories. The manufacturer of badgerking solves this problem by selling a ready-made set on AliExpress at the most attractive price. This includes a fishing rod for winter fishing with an electronic reel, and a whole set of gear.

The entire collection is packaged in a special case, and does not take up much space. That is, it is an ideal option for the novice fisherman, while at a very attractive price. By the way, a fishing rod in a set is not the cheapest option on the market. Perfect ergonomic rod made of hard carbon fiber with a cork handle, equipped with a friction coil. Of course, it would be cheaper to assemble such a kit separately, but here the calculation is made specifically for a novice fisherman, or for someone who does not want to spend a lot of time picking up everything they need.

4 Suvtoper

Manufacturers of fishing rods are constantly competing with each other, developing all new technologies. For example, the manufacturer of goods for fishing Suvtoper completely covered his product with silicone. How it affected the quality is difficult to say. On the one hand, the design has received additional strength and durability. Silicone not only protects the product from wear, but also adds strength to it. On the other hand, holding a silicone in hands is not as pleasant as a cork or carbon fiber, besides it slides. You should also understand that to replace the item on such a fishing rod will be problematic. Silicone coating is used both on open surfaces and in places of fastening, that is, it will be difficult to choose a replacement.

But the coil in this model is as simple as possible. Plain plastic construction, even without a locking mechanism. That is, buying this fishing rod will most likely have to change the reel, and here it is presented simply for the kit, and this price is only for the rod.

3 EMMROD

A unique, self-tapping rod. At least the manufacturer claims so. In fact, the self-locking mechanism is the spring that the whip is equipped with. When biting, it plays in the opposite direction and cuts the fish, not allowing it to leave the hook.

The whip, like the whole fishing pole, is made of stainless steel, and in this case it is not a cheap analogue of silumin. That is, the design will last a long time and is unlikely to break, but then there is a significant drawback associated with the fact that holding such a fishing rod is not very comfortable, especially without gloves.Yes, and in gloves, it will slip out of the hands, especially in the cold. That is, the design will have to be refined, equipping the handle with additional overlays, and, as a rule, you do not want to do this by buying a relatively expensive product. But this is the most durable design, as even the coil holder is metallic, and this is a great rarity for winter fishing rods, even in the high price segment.

2 Deukio

Most inexpensive fishing rods have the same list of drawbacks. First of all - it is the coil attached directly to the rod and having short handles for winding fishing line. In this model, these shortcomings have been eliminated. The coil has an elongated support, and is located at a distance from the rod. This allows you to comfortable winding, even in large winter gloves. The coil handle, made of sturdy plastic, also serves the same.

Another advantage is the metal tip for which the whip is attached to the base. In cheap models it is plastic and often fails. It also uses stainless steel, and if necessary, a broken whip can be replaced, leaving the tip. The handle of the fishing rod is made of polyurethane foam, which is also a plus. It is as comfortable and pleasant to hold it in your hands as the material does not harden and does not freeze in the cold.

1 Lawaia

Professional fishermen are the most demanding and demanding audience, and not every manufacturer is able to satisfy their desires. In the rods of this category, attractiveness and functionality should be combined, while the rod itself should be as strong and comfortable as possible.

All these aspects are respected in this model. The rod is made of high-quality carbon fiber that can withstand enormous loads, and the handle is covered with a special foam composition that makes the grip as comfortable and convenient as possible. But the main advantage is an electronic coil with a friction brake. The lever for fixing the fishing line is held with one finger, and the fisherman does not need to make an effort to do this. If necessary, the holder is fixed in the selected position and you can not press it at all. Also, the coil has two handles for winding fishing line, which is quite important, given the relatively large size of the coil itself. And, despite the fact that we have a winter fishing pole in front of us, it will not be very convenient to catch it in the hole. Rather, it is intended for long-distance casts, or fishing in large holes.
