Zetrix Glacier Type R description
Glacier is a series of winter fishing rods for predator fishing from the ice, designed for fishing with a modern reels – spinning or ice special.
Glacier Type R – five models of different power, assembled length – from 65 to 70 cm. The handle is of universal length: it is convenient both for holding the tackle with pistol grip and when fishing in severe frost with gloves.
In 2022 Glacier series was updated: three new models Glacier Shorty, all rods are 58 cm long when assembled, handle is compact.
The main type of baits, for use with which the series was developed in the first place – vibration plugs. But, of course, this series has no problems with such classic winter baits as pilkers or jigging spoons.
Solid, it retains its working qualities when fishing in freezing temperatures, allows to fully control the bait animation and works perfectly on pulling the fish from depth with a reel. What is especially in demand when fishing from great depths.
Rings – high quality, lightweight, with durable and perfectly smooth inserts, suitable for the use of both monofilament nylon and fluorocarbon lines, as well as braided cords. Winding is bright red.
Zetrix Glacier Type R Gen.2
GEN2 – renewed rods of Glacier series of the second generation.
Renewed Glacier Shorty models: ZGR-58H Shorty and ZGR-58HH Shorty.
Renewed Glacier models: ZGR-65H, ZGR-65XH, ZGR-70HH.
Plus – the novelty of the season – Glacier ZGR-70XXH!
The main difference from the first generation: the blanks are improved taking into account modern trends – the size of lures increases in vertical fishing, fluorocarbon lines are used more often, which requires more rigid and powerful rods. And, of course, modern winter fishing makes serious requirements to durability, which is definitely not unnecessary on the ice!
Handle construction
Material of the handle is high-quality, warm and comfortable to the touch cork. A reel seat with a top scweing forgrip allows to install all major types of reels: modern specialized ice fishing multipliers, small spinning reels and, of course, the timeless classics – simply centerpin.
Thanks to the shortened handle, Glacier Shorty rods are especially convenient to hold with a “pistol grip”. And the relatively short overall length of the rod allows comfortable fishing while sitting on a crate or a chair.
One and a half part design – for transportation the handle is separated from the whip.
