So I just picked up a 13 Fishing Tickle Stick 23" UL. Really like the way the rod feels so far although I haven't had it out. I plan on hitting the ice next weekend. I paired it with a Cabelas pro guide 1000 reel. The reel feels great with this rod. Nice balance, smooth (7 ball bearing), and drag adjustment is nice. I will update once I get a few fish landed with it. Cabela's has the Tickle stick on sale for $39.99 right now so i decided to swing for it.
