SIENNA ICE COMBOS OFFER ACTIONS AND FEATURES TO TACKLE THE MODERN AGE OF ICE FISHING

LADSON, S.C. – Now Available for Winter 2020/21 – Ice fishing has come a long way since the days of sitting on a pickle bucket fighting the cold more than fighting fish. Always looking to provide the right gear to make anglers be more successful, Shimano answers the rod and reel needs of ice anglers with its newly designed Sienna Ice Fishing combos, offered in 9 models and available now from select tackle dealers in the U.S. and Canada. Whether it’s super lightweight jigs for bluegill and perch, or using big spoons, snap jigs and lipless cranks for walleyes, northern pike, and lake trout, “within the Sienna combo line-up, we have ice anglers covered for just about every situation and the techniques used,” said Adam Diehl with Shimano’s product development team. “We match the rods with our popular Sienna spinning reels – in either 500 or 1000 sizes depending on the rod’s length and power — which now feature a new streamlined grip and reel seat for lighter weight, along with better balance and enhanced sensitivity.”
