On winter ice, small accessories determine how calm and tidy you will work around the hole. Short winter fishing rods, ice removal ladles, a bait pad and a compact telescopic kanja are collected here. Each of these tools solves a different task, so the kit is selected according to the bait used, the way of standing and the need to reach the water safely.

For handling artificial baits Winter fishing rod ASSERI CASTER – 70cm gives a clear starting point: length 70 cm, casting weight 3–30 g, four wide guides and screw reel holder. The red part of the tip helps to account for bites, and the hand lies on a cork handle. Compare the weight of the bait with the casting weight indicated and determine if that length fits your position at the hole.

When you catch on your knee, Winter fishing kneepad with compartment HELIOS MEDIUM combines adjustable width and bait compartment. The practical benefit is that the bait remains immediately next to the workman, without a separate box on the snow. Adjust the kneepad so that it stays steady but does not restrict movement when changing position or when getting up.

The opening is cleaned with Ice ladle - metal with wooden handle TONAR SPORT, whose length is 35 cm and diameter 6.5 cm. The metal base scoops out the crushed ice while the wooden handle keeps the hand separated from it. Match the diameter to the hole and the amount of ice you normally remove; too large a tool will make it difficult to work accurately in the narrow space.

The ladle and the kanja are not interchangeable. The first keeps the opening clean for the line and bait, and the second serves when reaching below the edge. If you include a kanja in the set, put it away with a covered tip and separate from the fishing rod. Arrange the tools in order of use so you don't reach through exposed hooks and wet accessories around the hole.

After the outing remove moisture and ice residue from the metal parts, dry the wooden handles and let the accessories ventilate. Look at the guides and the tip of the rod, the tightening of the reel and the belt on the kneepad. Arranged in separate locations, sharp and wet elements will not press the rod or wet the bait during carry.
