Ice fishing blanks

I didn't see a lot of threads for ice fishing blanks. I want to build my own ice rods because I could make three or more (depending on the blank) for the same price as buying one ice rod or combo. Of course the great part is being able to choose the types of materials used for guides, thread, the blank itself even. Hoping this will be a friutful hobby for me. I already have been tying my own flies for 12 years now. It feels rewarding to catch a fish with something you made with your own hands.

Gregg,
Lets narrow it down. Panfish? Walleye? Lake trout? If panfish are you detection the bite by watching the tip of the rod or watching the line? If panfish what size lures are you using? very small tungston jigs or blade/spoons and jigging raps?

I have built a bunch of panfish and walleye ice rods on the JannsNetcraft micro lite and walleye ice blanks. Solid glass/graphite blanks. They work very well,
