Thorne bros rods


Snake River  King

Recommended Posts

I own a few of them as well. I picked up one of the brand new Quiversticks paired with a Cortland fly reel last year and it immediately became one of my favorite rods, next to the Thorne Power Noodle. I am looking at picking up the Outside Power Noodle with the recoil guides or possibly the Panfish Sweetheart paired with another fly reel. IMO they are great quality and so far they have withstood the rough MN winters.

Last year I started with a power noodle paired with an Okuma fly reel and loved it. I recently picked up a quiverstick and a walleye sweetheart. I'm sure I'll be happy with both. I fished a ton of different rods last season and nothing else compared to the TB rod. Another example of getting what you pay for IMO.

Here is my new TB rod this year, well the 1st one. smile

It is new the new Stealth with the syncork handle and reel wraps from Cold Snap Outdoors! If you haven't heard about these reel wraps they are the bomb! Only 5 bucks and there are enough in the packages to do four reels!

I am planning on picking up my new powernoodle next week!

Anyone check if there is ice on the lakes yet?

I've got a 24" Power noodle and a 30" sweetheart outdoor with a cheap spring bobber on it. Sometimes the spring is the only thing that really lets you see hits. The PN is probably the sweetest ice fishing rod I've ever used.

I'm looking into purchasing one of these rods as I here lots of good things about them. What model/length would you suggest for perch fishing? The small lakes I fish around here are primarily perch lakes with a few small walleyes. It will be used for active jigging.

Thanks!

Perch Sweetheart with single foot recoil guides. Length depends on if it is an inside or outside rod.

I use my perch sweetheart for eyes almost exclusivly. I'd lean towards a panfish sweetheart... grin Cant go wrong though, and thats how the collection starts... then you have one of each... then you start adding diff lengths and guides...

Last years addition was 32in quiverstick paired with an Okuma SLV 4/5. Couldnt put that thing down.

This year im going with a new 30in powernoodle with recoils...

Fishwater - that is an impressive pile! Mine is big but not quite that big.

Only bad thing is that I feel bad for the ones that dont get fished like they used to... frownfrowngrin

If you want to feel the bite, get the new stealth rod! The one I have pictured above with the fly reel. The length depends on if you are fishing inside or outside. I also like the new Syncork, because it won't rot or breakdown like normal cork.

You wont be disappointed with a TB rod!

My favorite perch rods are 30" power noodles with the 4" micro cork handles. I jig them a bit, but for a dedicated jigging setup I'd suggest a panfish. It really depends on the lures and line you intend to use and how you fish. I generally try to use braid with a lighter rod and the drag set stiff for jigging, that's just how I personally like to fish.

Yeah, that and I have too many to justify getting more. New innovations in guides and now syncork? It's like the quote from old school where frank is discussing his marriage with his therapist.. "maybe they're silk panties, maybe it's a thong. Maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about.." grin
