How short? And what are you going for? Lakers, burbot, koks? Custom rods or main manufacturer's? Custom, jim William's now outsources his to a guy in Idaho I think he said on another post. 45" custom lake trout rod. I own 3 of jim Williams rods. Thorn bros makes a variety of lengths up to 48" for lakers. I use a dave gentz 36" split handle MH gor bubot. There are a ton of laker ice rods out there. [fishon]

I can build you one, take a look at the rod building board and you can see some of my work. I’ve been building rods for over 30 years now.

Remember: Unless you're fishing inside a shack, your summer rod will work.

Good point. I often use a 4'6" ultralight for other fish. Not saying it's ideal for macks but the length works fine on the ice.

I also build mack jigging rods they are about 50" long and will handle anything from the Gorge. I spiral wrap the guides and build on a upper end blank.

I live in the Ogden area and would be happy to show them to you.
