Thorne Bros. Walleye Sweetheart - Thanks Guys!

[Hotspotter]

I just dropped off a 28"M Walleye Sweetheart as a favor to a friend last night, and I'm currently having withdrawl. I own a Perch Sweetheart 28" outside, as well as a Sweet Thing for pannies, but I have yet to step up to the plate personally for a bigger-water walleye rod. For most of the lighter lure weights, the Perch Sweetheart has been enough for me, whether it's been LOW or URL, Mille Lacs, Winnie, and others.

For myself, I think I'm settled on a 28"M Walleye Sweetheart with the outside alconite guides. Pat Smith tried coaxing me into a 36" rod so I could stand and fish, but I'm used to hovering over my electronics and being closer to the ice. The best part is that this will be a great rod in any ice-house as well.

Thanks again to Pat, Matt, Josh, and John for talking with me yesterday about the purchase. These guys are ultra-experienced anglers that will customize rods to any liking or preference you may have, and I've always been proud to own these rods. They're made right here in Minnesota, at the back of their Fridley shop to be exact, one at a time. Even if you're not sure what you like in a rod, you can describe what types of fishing you do, and their recommendations are always spot-on. I don't need two dozen rods to go ice fishing, so I'm going to start dropping some of my other equipment and just stay with a handful of quality rods. (My brother is getting old-rods for christmas ).

That's a pretty sweet rod Joel!

Perfect rod for Chubby Darters (size 5 & 6), Jigging Raps, larger Buckshots, Angel Eye Srs., etc.

Enjoy!
