Thorne bros rods

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

Hitting the nail on the head Fishwater!

Last year I loaned out my "TB Quiver Stick" to a fell-ah who only fishes sunnies. He now owns two Quiver Sticks of his own.

I didn't know there was stuff out there like this.

Any of the sweetheart series are good. I typically use the walleye sweetheart for all my walleye fishing but the perch will do the trick probably if you were to buy 1 to start with I would get this one. I love the deadstick for my set line no bobbers for this cat. But now I hear there are some new models to look at oh dear.

Not sure if I would like those cold snap reel holders. Are they a rubber band type deal. Kind of look like the rubber bands for castrating sheep smile. I wouldn't like all those ridges in my hand I don't think. I guess I done the tape thing to long don't see a big deal with it. Once the reel is on the rod it never comes off for me.

Is a Deadstick an adequate rod to use for Jumbo Perch? I'm sure a Power

Noodle would be optimum but a lot of my time is spent targeting both

walleyes and perch.

Are you looking to use it as a true deadstick with livebait?

It would work fine for that.

If you want to fish stuff like small spoons and raps, I like a panfish sweetheart. For heavier baits for perch and eyes, i like a Perch Sweetheart. For true walleye sized baits the walleye sweetheart.

The quiverstick will fish baits from 1/80th up to say 1/16th...

And a powernoodle shines with jigs in the 1/24-1/32 on down to however small you want to tie on...

Dark Cloud- Are you using it as a true deadstick with live bait?

Yes, I usually fish a live minnow in one hole and jig another. Just very

tired of bobber stoppers and the like, looking for an alternative. The

deadstick on a pivot of some sort sounds like the answer. I'm sure their

will be additions in the future as the budget allows, probably a Perch

sweetheart and a powernoodle for pannies. Thanks for the response DC you

nailed it.
