MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I need a rod that isn't crazy expensive, i want something that a lot of people love and would recommend for not so much money . What are some suggestions?
My motto is, you get what you pay for! I just got a Tickle Stick, and this thing is WELL worth the money! The reel seat is one of the best I've seen, and the eyelets are top notch. According to Matt from 13 Fishing, because the fibers run "linear" in the rod, not only will you be able to see the slightest bites, but feel them in the handle. He even claims that up-bite detection will be much easier. Do spring bobbers work? Absolutely! I still have a few rods with them on, but if I can get away without using one, I will. They're just one more thing to mess with when I could be reeling in fish. Obviously, I haven't tried out the Tickle Stick yet, but I can tell just by holding it and putting it through the motions that this rod will be my go to rod this year for panfish. Paired with a No 8 CGI reel, this thing should be stellar!!
Those Flatline rods look like crap and probably are made like crap and probably fish like crap. I looked at them after reading this thread but I am still going with the SUL ticklestick for my panfish rod.
So the ticklestick is basically a power noodle? For the price of one, you'd almost be at the price of a power noodle???
I don't have any experience with the Power Noodle but I do know that the Tickle Stick is sweet. It all comes down to personal preference in the end. If the FL rod is what you want, that's what your gonna get! I bought the TS because the concept is sweet and I wanted to try it
Ok ill get one.... Should i get light or ultralight because i will be using this for perch as well
You have 2 wicked UL rods now I'd go with the 27" UL that would make a nice dead stick or jig rod. I have a white noise ul and a white noise ml, so your saying an ul would be best or should i get a l?
I'm just a lover of all things 13. I have had great luck with their products, and customer service. A friend of mine had a open water rod break 6" from the tip. Not only did they send a new one at no charge, but they sent a hat with it. He didn't even pay for the original rod, he won it on one of their Facebook contests!I have one of each of their rods, Whitenoise, Whiteout, Wicked, and now a Tickle Stick. I love using the wicked, and may look at getting another one when they go on clearance in the spring.
So if you've never held it, how can you compare it?
what type of reel is on that one you have? And what would be the best reel to put on the tickle stick?
