Thorne bros rod?

Recommended Posts

Looking to get one of the rod but don't know which one. Hoping some of you guys that have these rods might be able to help me make my decision. I mostly fish panfish but on occasion I will fish for walleyes and perch. I'm looking for just one rod that will be able to fish all the fishes mention. Which one would best? THANKS AHEAD.

Don't let the name Panfish Sweethart fool ya. The largest of the mutiple-species I pulled through the ice last winter was a 24" pike.

I have purchased a Perch sweethart and am looking forward to using it!

All three of my sweetharts are the 28" models. I just prefer the shorter rods?

Give thorne bros a call. Anyone working there can help you. If you can go to the store or one of the ice shows even better. Beware, if you go to the store you may go home with two. wink.gif I don't personaly use one so I can't help you out on which one. I use the croix legends.

I bought the "24 power noodle strictly for crappies and I swear to god the fish would be in front of the bait and I could feel him breathing on my jig!! Also works for perch fishing. I bought mine last year and love it. Might pick up a sweetheart for wally's though.

Let's see, in the arsenal is a 28" Walleye Sweetheart,a 28" Panfish Sweetheart,a 36" Pro Glass Walleye rod,a 42" Professional rod for larger quarry,had a 24" Panfish Sweet Thing rod until I broke it,also have a 16" Sweet Pea for sight fishing,and lastly two different sizes of TB Deadsticks.Most of these were bought about 10 years ago.Needless to say I am a fan of TB rods. I am going to pick up a couple more rods in the near future.

I went to thorne bros this saturday having the perch sweetheart in mind but when I got there and handle the walleye sweetheart it feels so good on my hand I just decided to go with the 28" walleye sweetheart w/ reel seat. I just finish putting on a spring bobber and I'll used that when I'm fishing for pannies. The rod feels solid but light and it balances perfect with the reel on. Can't wait to use it, come on ice. cool.gif

Thanks to all the guys that reply to this thread.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
