Why It Stands Out
Part fishing rod, part movie memorabilia, the Green Hornet is the short jigging pole Walter Matthau made famous in Grumpy Old Men. Each one is handmade in Minnesota, so it's as much a collector's piece as a working ice rod. Hard to beat as a gift for the film fan who fishes. Don't sit on it, though, since small-batch runs sell out fast.

Crappie SpecialFrequently Asked Questions
Yes. It's a working 28.5" ice jigging pole that comes with string, lure, and bobber, and it just happens to be a faithful replica of the movie prop.
Each pole is handmade in Minnesota in small batches, so stock is limited and sells out quickly.
It's suited to panfish, crappie, and other species you'd jig for through the ice on light line.
Hard to top for a Grumpy Old Men fan who also fishes. Part keepsake, part working rod.
