I cant pick just one. I normally cast very small fixed floats (thill mini stealth) and a long rod can really help with distance and increased depth. Probably use a BNM samheaton 9'-10'. If Im just dropping down an 5' UL, Ive had really good sensativity from some fly rods. And then a while back I broke out an ice fishing rod berkley lightning in the wind and fished in the lee of the boat with very good luck. The BNM sam heaton 7" spinning is a very nice compromise of a rod for everything. ICE??? you probably need to make another trip to bps,lol. Ive been eyeballing a marmish rod for the heck of it. I also put a spring bobber on my light action ice rod.
