I was pretty intrigued by this rod as well but haven't found much information on it.  The thing that I am really interested in is the quick tip and the eyelets.  I really liked the Jason Mitchell Meat Stick but what prevented me from using it in a competitive atmosphere was that the eyelets were to small and it didn't allow me to fish it out in the elements like my other rods did because they would freeze up to quick.  I could only use it in a heated shack which I rarely fish in anyways. 

the Tickle Stick appears to have bigger eyelets so I'm excited to have a nice quick tip pole with larger eyelets.

Those guys at 13 Fishing sure do know how to get attention.  I started drooling when I saw those reviews.  I'll definitely have one on the way as soon as it's advertised.  If it's like the teardrop they'll have pre-production ordering available soon.   :P

Defiantly a nice looking stick. I played around with those guides on a few rods I built last winter and really like em!!!
The flat sanded concept is nice especially from a builders standpoint(easier to attach guides)... but alot of guys dont necessarily hold the rod with the guides straight up and down to jig...


Pete - funny but your jig painting buddy from CNY and I were talking about sanding rods like this last winter. I believe he did a few also...

Oh man.  I was thinking I was going to try one of these but your comment made me think...

You're right, I jig with my reel off to the side.  Not sure how that would work out.

Good though.

I believe they do have them on there website now, but are listed as "backordered". They most likely havn' recieved thier shipment of the ticklesticks yet. But you can take a look at 'em there for now anyway.

Ordered 3 of these.  :P  Thanks for the tip. ;) The next important question.... does anyone make a lightweight crossbar or something that can be added to these rods to keep them from being pulled down a 10" hole and making a $49.00 Rod+ reel donation to the snails at the bottom of the lake ?   Any info. or links would be helpful.  Thanks.  Happy trails !  :)

I really want one but can't swallow the 12$ shipping I think I'll wait until they are in stores or on line w/freeshipping.

Free shipping online at Cabela's right now for anything $49.00 or more  :).  The rod is $49.00 at Cabela's, so it qualifies  ;).  Type in the words:  94 Free in the Promo box and the shipping is credited back off of your total.  Happy trails ! ;D
