Yeah I meant being tough on equipment as in getting banged around in my but and in my truck. But I also bought a new rod bag this year so hopefully that will help no more buckets for me.
I don't think a tickle stick should ever go there! Voids the warranty for sure.
How do you people that have the new 13 tickle stick like it? Picking the 23 inch up tomorrow.
good stuff. haha. gotta love how the auto spell check works sometimes.
I have not heard very good things about the tickle stick. Guides being smaller than usual and the tips falling off seems to be the main problems.
In my opinion I would never spend $50 on a rod that had guides the size of a pin hole to limit yourself to either fishing when its 50 degrees out or inside a shack. Why not take that money and buy a DH rod with oversized fly guides so that you can fish inside or outside. Might cost you $20 more but that DH noodle blank is twice the blank of a tickle stick. The only downsided is you can't go down the street and get a DH so if you are in a hurry I guess its not an option.
