Seabass77 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I got one for christmas last year and it works great. With such a soft tip, use fireline and a mono leader to help with hooksets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceHawk Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I have a mess of Thorne Bros rods and I love them, I feel they are some of the most sensitive rods I have ever used. I have the sweethearts and deadsticks and I have never had anything but positive things to say about them.I have yet to try the Rock-n-Reel but I will this year once I get one. I do beleive by seeing them that they will be the ticket for deadsticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Get a rock n reel or a tip down and save yourself some $. As stated hooksets are at times a issue with such limber tipped rods. I like a med/lt. rod on my rock n reel. Fish dont feel anything and you get better hook up percentage. My 2 cents worth is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
