20 best winter fishing rods from Aliexpress

Since domestic fishermen are among the most ardent lovers of winter fishing, they should also be equipped with special equipment.The leading element in all the variety of things (and the unspoken symbol of winter fishing) is the popular short rods, which have received the laconic name "rods". On average, the length of such rods varies in the range of 40-60 centimeters, however, there are also longer models that are highly versatile - they can be used not only in winter for ice fishing, but also in summer for flashing from a boat.

The main parameters of any winter fishing rod are:

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

With the gradual development of the Aliexpress trading platform, a good part of Chinese companies entered the Russian market, producing goods in large batches and at a much more attractive price than the recognized giants of the fishing world. As a recommendation for buying and saving your budget, we have selected twenty of the best ice fishing rods found in the open spaces of Aliexpress, which have received exceptionally high ratings from buyers.

The 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 is an order of magnitude higher than premium models, although obviously “weaker” materials are used in production.

5 DUUTI

AliExpress offers a variety of fishing products, including electronic and self-hooking rods, but as practice shows, the simplest and most unpretentious models, such as this one, are most often used. There is nothing complicated here at all, hence the best price. A simple design consisting of a small nodding rod and a hidden reel. Before use, the reel is removed from the seat and a fishing line is wound on it. That's it, the rod is ready to go.

The product is completely plastic, and as noted in the reviews on Aliexpress, its quality leaves much to be desired. There are no carbon components here, therefore, in severe frost, the fishing line freezes through and significantly burdens the winding. And given the difficulty of getting the coil, this exacerbates the problem even more. However, one should not expect anything more from a product for 50 rubles, including delivery. Such a rod may not become the main one in the arsenal, but it is great as an auxiliary product, just in case.

4 HAODIAOZHE

Not always the word "quality" is synonymous with the word "expensive". Winter fishing rods from HAODIAOZHE are a direct proof of this. A relatively inexpensive product that has received a lot of feedback from buyers. First of all, they praise the practicality of the fishing rod and the absence of fragile elements that often fail. True, there are some complaints about the shipment. In particular, poor packaging is noted, but there are only a few such comments and they are dated several years earlier.

Before us is a simple fishing rod without unnecessary elements.The body is made of warm carbon fiber, and the rod itself consists of two parts, easy to assemble and disassemble. The whip is also carbon fiber, with one ring at the end. The disadvantages include the lack of a friction brake. The fishing line is fixed using a clamping mechanism, which is not very convenient, especially during active fishing. The reel handle is also not very comfortable. A small holder can cause a number of inconveniences, especially if you try to quickly wind the line in large winter gloves.

3 Sikiwind

Winter fishing is also varied. Even fishing from the shore is not excluded, and it is difficult to carry a large arsenal of accessories with you. This product can significantly reduce your list of necessary things. This is a rod with adjustable length. It has three sections, but it is not necessary to open them all at the same time. It is enough to push them to a certain length, or even leave them assembled and start catching.

Sections that have not been extended are fixed in the body of the rod with a plastic nut on the handle. By the way, the handle itself is cork, which is a definite plus for winter fishing. Unfortunately, the package does not include a reel, but the rod is designed to work with any reels, even large reels and multipliers. It should also be noted that this product is the best price. The seller offers several models of different lengths, but even the longest fishing rod does not exceed 250 rubles in value.

2 XC LOHAS Mini Ice Fishing Rod

The XC LOHAS product provides consumers with some variability that other contenders in the rating cannot boast of. If we analyze the design of the two variations in detail, it turns out that there are a couple of significant differences between them.

A cheaper variation is based on the use of a stainless alloy (for fasteners) and anti-slip material EVA (the originality of which at this level of cost is doubtful). An expensive option offers the buyer a cork handle, reliable mounts for installing coils, and generally a more impressive appearance. In both cases, fiberglass is used as the whip material, and the total length of the tackle does not exceed 60 centimeters. If it weren’t for problems with logistics and the safety of parcels along the way, such a fishing rod could easily 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 a winter rod from Rompin, which in the recent past experienced the same problems as competitors from XC LOHAS. Namely, logistics often let us down, the goods arrived half-broken, and in general, the build quality left much to be desired. To date, all these shortcomings have been eliminated almost completely. Defective 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 rod is made in the only version with a good cork handle, long enough for a comfortable grip (even with two hands). The whip is hard, not loose, made of fiberglass, it reacts to bites very accurately. The coil holder looks solid, but there were complaints about the fixing screws in terms of poor fixation. Ultimately, Rompin took the production and delivery process seriously, for which it deservedly received a leading position in the ranking.

The best winter fishing rods: price from 300 to 450 rubles

The essence of buying expensive Chinese fishing rods in the presence of their cheap counterparts is barely perceptible, but it has several good reasons. Sometimes a few dollars can decide what material will be used for the braid of the handle, what the whip will be made of and what is the overall quality of the assembly of stream products 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 lower than 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 freeze quickly in the cold, and holding them in your hands, especially without gloves, becomes uncomfortable. This problem is partly solved by plastic inserts, but the best option was and remains the cork. In this model, the handle is made from a single piece of cork wood.Here it is not just an overlay or insert, but a full-fledged bar that creates comfort when holding.

The rest of the rod is not much stands out. The reel clamping mechanism is standard and is used on spinning rods, and telescopic whips are hidden in the body, which, on the one hand, is a plus, since the rod is as compact as possible when assembled. And with another minus, since it will be difficult to replace a broken whip element. You will have to select the part in strict accordance with the allowable length and diameter. Of course, it will not be easy to break a carbon fiber whip, and this can only be done by negligence, but experienced fishermen know that such situations are not uncommon.

4 VKTECH

The fishing rod has long ceased to be associated with a bamboo stick and a hook on a rope. Modern models are not only well-designed 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 compresses the whip and prevents it from falling out. By the way, here we find the first drawback - insufficiently high-quality material from which the clamp is made. Outwardly, it resembles brass, and this would be excellent, but in fact we have a standard Chinese silumin, which is not distinguished by strength and durability.

Simply put, such a fishing rod is hardly suitable for intensive use, but for ordinary fishing enthusiasts it is a real find, conveniently assembled and does not take 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 Goture

Winter fishing often takes place with several rods placed at a considerable distance from each other. You have to constantly run to them and check the bite, which is not very convenient. The Goture rod will help to solve this problem, the main advantage of which is a stationary installation and the presence of a signaling device. The design is made in the form of a tripod with a coil. It is installed directly above the hole into which the fishing line is lowered. Next, you need to fix the flag in the lower position, and you can leave the fishing rod alone. Now, as soon as a bite occurs, the flag will release the fishing line, and it will stand up, and you will know that a fish has been caught on the hook.

This is the best option for those who are used to catching the entire area of ​​​​the reservoir or its large-scale sections. You no longer need to constantly run from one hole to another. It is enough just to follow the flags at a distance and react only to one hundred percent bites, and not to false bites of a cunning fish.

2 XC LOHAS Portable Mini Ice Fishing Rod

XC LOHAS Portable Mini Ice Fishing Rod is the very rare case when the manufacturer and distributor of the product is the same company.This winter rod is noticeably different from a number of others in its category - both in that it reaches a new level of cost, and in that it significantly surpasses all others in styling and nominal quality.

The body and handle of the rod are made using three conceptually different materials: EVA, fiberglass and chrome-containing metal alloy. The carbon whip responds perfectly to bites and does not ignore even weak attacks from predatory fish. And everything would be just great ...

…if not for the big difference between nominal and real quality. Defective products come across every third parcel, which, of course, is unacceptable for a serious manufacturer. As a result: after unpacking, consumers have to independently “fix” malfunctions in the order, since no serious damage has been noticed so far.

1 Weihefishing

Many of us are used to the fact that goods from Aliexpress are rarely of high quality, and for good reason. There are a lot of products on the site that can fight back even famous brands. It is such a winter fishing rod that is now in front of us. It is not electronic and not self-cutting. Its main advantage is the highest strength and the best build quality. As they write in the reviews, this is not an empty advertising statement of the seller or manufacturer. The model really shows itself perfectly in practice and does not break down when a large trophy is taken out.

Weihefishing is a two-section telescopic rod that is not supplied with the reel. In fact, a simple rod, but made of high quality carbon fiber.The handle is covered with a warm and non-slip cork, which can also be attributed to the advantages. However, there were no shortcomings in the model. And the reviews praise not only the product, but also the seller, who quickly responds to the incoming order.

The best serial winter rods

Serialization of fishing rods means an abundance of standard sizes for one specific model. In this case, we are talking about the full length of the equipment, starting from the tip of the whip and ending with the handle. Chinese manufacturers prefer to create 60-, 80- and 100-cm winter rods, with two, three and four telescopic sections, respectively.

5 FISH KING

This model could be attributed to professional fishing rods, but it falls short of them, although it has its own claims to this. The first thing that catches your eye is the design. Futuristic rod with smooth curves and non-standard shapes. It looks very attractive, especially considering that the seller in Aliexpress offers several color options. As for the functionality, here it lies entirely on the reel, the main advantage of which is the friction brake, that is, this fishing rod is designed for long-distance casting, and when fishing in the hole, this mechanism is not needed at all.

Also, the reel is equipped with two handles for easy winding of fishing line, and the mount is made of metal, which is a rarity among fishing rods of this price category. As for ergonomics and convenience, everything here is also at the highest level. The handle is comfortable and made of soft carbon fiber that does not freeze in the cold.True, only the tip is plastic, 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, since the fishing rod turned out to be simple and unpretentious, and on the other hand, a minus. Firstly, the mechanism for attaching the coil is not very well executed. A simple spinning system is used here, with one washer holding the legs of the reel. The whip holding system doesn't inspire much confidence either. This is a plastic latch, and there are notches on the whip itself, for which the handle holds it. The downside is that in the event of a breakdown of the first section of the whip, it will not be possible to replace it with an identical one in diameter.

The model also has advantages, in particular, a cork wood 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 reel, from friction to the simplest model.

3 Excepand

A winter rod rarely weighs a lot unless it's an electronic or self-hooking model, but this is the lightest telescopic rod for hole or shore fishing. There are 12 sections, and the length of each does not exceed 15 centimeters. The rod has the best sensitivity and it reacts even to the smallest bites.In this case, you do not need to lay it out to its full length. It is enough to bring out those sections that are necessary and start fishing. The remaining, unused parts are fixed in the rod with a reliable nut.

It should also be noted the high flexibility at the joints of the sections. This is where most rods have the tightest part, but not in this case. The manufacturer managed to achieve the strength of the connection and the simultaneous flexibility. We should also mention the seller with Aliexpress, who is praised a lot in the reviews. The sending speed is at the best level, as is the interaction with customers in a disputable situation. Simply put, despite the rather high cost, it is worth buying such a fishing rod, since it has a lot of advantages.

2 TIASCFR

Reading the description for this product on Aliexpress, the first thing that catches your eye is the definition of “cast”. In fact, this implies that the rod is one-piece, but just look at the photo, and it becomes clear that everything is not so. First, the rod is telescopic. It consists of five sections, each of which is equipped with its own ring. Yes, everything is painted in one color, and it looks as stylish and attractive as possible. But even in the photo you can see that the rings are removable.

On the other hand, a bayonet is hidden under the handle, stuck into the ice or the ground. In fact, this is the only proof that we have a winter fishing rod in front of us. You can’t find other parameters, and you can use it even for summer fishing. There are also no coils in the kit, so the price is considered quite high.It was not possible to find reviews about the product, apparently the fishermen did not appreciate the entire aesthetic appeal of the product, preferring more practical models to it.

1 XC LOHAS Ice Fishing Rod

It is quite difficult to choose the best one from, in fact, the same type of applicants, since their characteristics do not differ from each other in any way. However, the XC LOHAS Ice Fishing Rod managed to convince us (and not only us) of its exclusivity in terms 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 rod to slip in the hands of the angler. The whip is hard, carbon fiber, responds well to both strong and weak bites. According to the standard, there is a base for installing the coil, since, alas, it is not included in the kit. It is also noteworthy that these rods can be used not only for ice fishing - they show excellent results when fishing from a boat and casting along small rivers.

The best professional fishing rods for winter fishing

Professional fishing rods are not the most popular item among AliExpress buyers. The fact is that when choosing such a tool, you need to hold it in your hands and evaluate all the advantages, and it costs decently. However, the site offers a lot of interesting models equipped with electronic coils or self-cutting systems.These rods are perfect for sport fishing or when catching big fish. Most inexpensive models simply can not cope with such a load.

5 ToMa

Chinese manufacturers continue to capture the market and in some areas are already quite successfully competing with world-famous brands. For example, the manufacturer of fishing products Toma, is one of the leaders and perfectly combines the high quality of its products with attractive prices. The brand has many products in its arsenal, including winter fishing rods, which have a lot of advantages. In their production, only the best materials were used: durable carbon fiber, cork on the handles, aluminum for the rings, and more.

The rod is very flexible and extremely durable. Yes, this is not a self-hooking model, but if necessary, a trap from the same manufacturer can be installed on it. In principle, the product deserves the first place in the rating, but other things being equal, the price is relatively high.

4 ROSEWOOD

Before us is the best professional fishing rod for winter fishing. Its advantages can be listed for a very long time, so let's focus on the most significant. For example, the multiplier reel that comes with the kit, as it is an integral part of the rod. The multiplier allows the most smooth wiring of gear and has high power. With it, you can easily bring out even the largest trophy. It should also be noted the flexibility and strength of the rod.

It is made of carbon fiber, which does not freeze in the cold, has a thin structure, but is very durable and can bend to an angle of more than 90 degrees. This rod could easily take first place in the ranking, if not for the relatively high price, as well as excess power. In practice, winter fishing rarely pleases with large trophies, and in most cases there will be no one to catch such a fishing rod. This product is more for sport fishing.

3 EMMROD

Unique in its kind self-cutting rod. At least that's what the manufacturer claims. In fact, the self-hooking mechanism is the spring that the whip is equipped with. When biting, it plays in the opposite direction and hooks the fish, not allowing it to leave the hook.

The whip, like the whole rod, 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 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 finalized by equipping the handle with additional overlays, and as a rule, you don’t want to do this when buying a relatively expensive product. But this is the most durable design, since even the reel holder is metal, and this is a rarity for winter fishing rods, even in the high price segment.

2 Deukio

Most inexpensive rods have the same list of drawbacks. First of all, these are reels that are attached directly to the rod and have short handles for winding fishing line. In this model, these shortcomings have been eliminated. The reel has an elongated support, and is located at a distance from the rod. This allows comfortable winding even with large winter gloves. The handle of the reel, made of strong plastic, also serves the same purpose.

Another advantage is the metal tip for which the whip is attached to the base. In cheap models, it is plastic and often fails. Stainless steel is also used here, and if necessary, a broken whip can be replaced, leaving the tip. The rod handle is made of foamed polyurethane, which is also a plus. Holding it in your hands is as comfortable and pleasant as possible, and 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. Fishing rods in this category should combine attractiveness and functionality, while the rod itself should be as strong and comfortable as possible.

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