MEL'S FISHING

Fishing Rods

A high-quality rod is the backbone of every good fishing setup. We carry rods that we trust on our own fishing trips, made to handle the variety of waters we have here in Northern Wisconsin. From lightweight spinning rods for panfish to heavy-duty casting rods for muskie and pike, we’ve got something for every angler.

Our in-store selection includes top brands like TFO, Fenwick & Abu Garcia and a range of lengths and actions to match your technique. Not sure what you need? Come by the shop and we’ll help you choose the perfect rod for your next fishing trip. It’s what we love to do.
