Ht Ice Blue rod vs Ht Ice Blue Pro rod.

I am looking at the HT Ice Blue and HT Ice Blue Pro rods.  Is there really a difference?  Which one is the better buy?

cork handles on the pro.  Foam on the HT Blue.  Both fiberglass noodle blank to my knowledge.

My Blue HT's have a cork handle but their old. If panfishing they are my favorite rod, they've caught a lot of fish over the years. Cheap and get the job done.

The HT Blue Pro is a slick little rod and an excellent value.  I picked up the 26" UL noodle rod for $10 online. The top guide is misaligned, but it doesn't affect fishing. The Blue and Blue Pro are known for having misaligned guides, so it's probably best to buy them in person. You can't feel a thing with these rods, but they show every little bite. I bought it for my girlfriend's young kid. It's a perfect fit for them.
