I'm not sure who rents, but just one quick thought... You can pick up a cheap ice rod/reel combo for about $20.

During the summer I saw a few at Bass Pro on sale for around that price.

You would pay more to rent the gear that it would cost u to buy it. Some rental huts provide all the gear u need so go that route if u really don't want to drop 20 bux.

stiff? depends what rods you were looking at, i have one for perch which is super ultra light, and using 2lb line. check bass pro or lebaron they have different rods for any fish you like.
