On the frozen waters of Northeast Indiana, there's a quiet buzz getting louder. It's putting ice anglers in a trance causing them to follow others around in a stupor of what they're witnessing: the noodle rod. Jack Cook, creator of King Noodler noodle rods, explains, "Every year, on multiple occasions, I have people following me around the lake trying to figure out what I'm doing.

He's not the only one either, a trio of friends from Angola, Heath Wagner, Brad Jones, and Leonard Myers (shown here with his grandchild and a mess of proof), who use King Noodler rods extensively, experience the same phenomena. Wagner relates, I can't tell you how many times we have gone out on the ice to find others struggling to catch 1-3 fish and we end up with 50 or more. Many end up following us around. It sounds like a fish story, but truly happens nearly every time were out.
