13 Fishing Company's - Tickle Sticks
« on: Dec 26, 2014, 08:56 PM »
Does anyone here have any experience or feedback on the ice fishing "Tickle Stick" rods from 13 Fishing?

They look great!

 :(  as of yet NO! Many here have bought them but seeing theres no ice anywheres have not had a chance to try mine out. I sure hope the tips arent going to be breaking as some have mentioned.

Have used mine several times and so far so good. Tip is very sensitive  for the light bitters and have even landed a 7lb pike with it.

Haven't caught anything sizable yet, about an 11" crappie is the biggest, but so far I like mine.

Had mine for a month and broke the tip off twice, and the base of the handle fell off too. Nice rod, junk construction. 23" sul

Fished for 3 days at Devils Lake a week ago. Loved the rod, like others have said very sensitive and plenty of backbone. Caught perch and some nice eyes on it. Seem to handle both species very well. Trick for the tips is to not let the tip move left or right. Also watch the vid on how to store them. Again no issues with mine and loved it.

Two of my buddies have them. The one guy loves it and has had no issues. The other has broken the tip and the handle on one. He ordered another from Cabelas and it came with the tip broken.

A friend I fished with yesterday broke the bottom of the handle off also.  Sounds like this maybe the downfall to them.  Nice action on the tips though.  The MeatStick also has really soft bite action.

I actually found the rod to be more sensitive to feel the bite than to see the bite. Kinda opposite of what the rod was designed for but that's my take on it.
