Guide Service
Hot Rod Baits can provide you or your family members a day on the water, or ice that they will not soon forget. You pick whether to fish for bass or panfish out of a fully equipped 18-foot Ranger bass boat with Minn Kota Talons and trolling motor. You will be using the best rods and reels from Quantum on every cast. When ice fishing for panfish we will be using the best in electronics; Vexilar. Guided trips are located throughout Iowa and Pool 9 & 10 of Mississippi River. We specialize in taking the young, old, experienced, or first-time anglers out on the water to enjoy a day of catching fish and learning about the sport of fishing no matter what month of the year it is.
