Pilgrim Village
We supply everything but the fish!
Welcome to Pilgrim Village Resort
Located on the East shore of Lake Mitchell, on M-115. Fishing, boating, golfing, mushroom hunting, snowmobiling, or just relaxing, it's all accessible from the Pilgrim Village Resort. We offer a variety of accommodations for your comfort......
Because he couldn't find an ice rod that meet his needs for panfish and the light bite of smelt, Steve Knaisel designed the CADILLAC ELITE ICE ROD.
With a rod tip so limber, that there is no need to add a spring bobber, it is sensitive enough to detect the lite bite of a smelt.
The rod guides are large enough not to freeze up, yet light enough not to slow the rods action. The handle has the rod blank running all the way through it to keep it from getting soft and spongy after a lot of use. The CADILLAC ELITE rod handle comes with a real reel seat, that will hold your favorite ice reel securely in place. All have hook keepers. All sizes balance with your favorite Hali Jig.
The CADILLAC ELITE ROD not only works for smelt fishing, it is also great for the ultra-lite panfish anglers.
The CADILLAC ELITE ROD comes in three lenghts, 24", 30" and 36". They retail for:
24" - $14.99
30" - $15.99
36" - $16.99
