Clam just released their new ice fishing products for the upcoming 2022-2023 ice fishing season. Over the past few ice fishing seasons, Clam has focused heavily on developing its rods, reels, and combos. Clam has raised the bar for ice fishing rods by creating premium and specialized tools for ice anglers to use in any environment when targeting any species. The extensive lineup of the Katana Rods, Reel, and Combos in the Clam Outdoors rods, reels, and combos line is new for this upcoming ice fishing season. 


Last year, Clam released the Katana Rod in a handful of actions targeted toward big fish.This year Clam has greatly expanded the Katana line to offer a total of 15 actions in rods as well as the addition of the Katana Reel. The Katana Rod and Reel are also available as a combo in all 15 actions. The Katana Rod is built with a sensitive 30T solid graphite blank with strength and sensitivity in mind. This rod features our Tsuka featherlight grip handle that allows ice anglers to fish all day comfortably. With 15 actions available, ice anglers can target the lightest biting panfish to the hardest fighting trophy trout. 


Many ice anglers liked the Katana Rod last year with its unique componentry and high-quality features at a great price. Clam heard from many ice anglers about adding other actions to this rod to target other species besides big fish, and we are excited that we can offer this expansive lineup to ice anglers. The Katana Combo combines the Katana Rod with the Katana Reel, which is new for this season. The Katana Reel features a lightweight frame, making it the ideal spinning reel to pair with your favorite ice rod. The reel is a super smooth 6+1 ball bearing reel with Clam's SF Drag System and oversized EVA handle so anglers can be confident that no matter what they are targeting, they can rely on the Katana to help them catch it.
