There is not a better way
to kick off the new year
and the ice fishing
season than with Brian “Bro”
Brosdahl. Brian
hails from of Max, MN
which is just a few miles
from Lake Winnibigoshish.
He is one of the most
recognized and respected
anglers in North America.
Bro, as
he’s known, is a
multispecies angler best
known for his influence
on the sport of ice
fishing.
Several popular ice
fishing products are
based on his ideas.
He helped co-designed
Frabill’s “Bro Series
Ice Fishing Combos” &
Northland Fishing
Tackle’s “Bro’s Bug
Collection.” He
pioneered the “Bro
Dropper,” a modified
ice fishing dropper rig
and “Slip Dragging,”
an open water walleye
presentation.
Bro makes frequent store
appearances at Scheels,
Cabela’s, Gander
Mountain, Bass Pro Shops,
Sportsman’s Warehouse,
Mills Fleet Farm and
several independent
retailers. Customers are
always impressed that the
knowledgeable and
good-natured guy they see
in the media is the same
in person.

enjoys talking & teaching
groups of people about the
great sport of ice fishing.
Especially kids, they are
going to be the one who

very important to teach and
get kids involved in
