I've noticed a lot of people mention fishing kits in their BOBs. I've also been looking around youtube a bit lately and see the same trend. Most of what I see is people carrying fishing line in some sort of container with a few supplies. What I am curious about is if anyone has thought about or tried using an ice fishing rod. They are small, carry more line, add minimal weight (the reel) and I'm sure there are other uses for the rod.

Any thoughts?
