Well, I used the Tickle Stick yesterday - very sensitive, good back bone for a UL. Problems: guides did ice up outside, looks to be a heated shelter rod only, no biggie as that's where I am most of the time. Also, the back 1/3er'd of the reel seat (the part you twist to tighten the reel) it hollow, I can feel the cork want to push/crush in. So I compared my Wicked13 rod (same reel seat design), it was solid. Maybe it's just my rod, check yours. Bummer as this is a good rod but I don't think the twist part of the reel seat will last too long...
Haven't used mine much, too paranoid about breaking it.
I can't imagine why anyone designing an ice rod would put those eyelets on a rod!
