Best Deadstick Rod

Let me hear it!
Not trying to break the bank
Need it to handle both Walleye and Crappie

As far as budget friendly rods go, the 32” Beaver Dam Glass Noodle is phenomenal. Hi vis tip, moderate action, nice big guides, enough power to handle large predators, and a reel seat for $15.

You’ll get plenty of responses saying to get a custom like TUCR, JT, etc. and while they’re nice rods you can get 7 beaver dams for the price of one.

The best depends on what you are doing with it. Try a search for deadstick and you will see this topic comes up every year with many post on it. Some like soft rods so the fish doesn’t feel the rod and some like stiff rods so the fish might set the hook on them self. Results may vary.

Really depends on what you want and what it actually does. After all not everyone sets a dead stick the same. The best test is the bucket dead stick set test. As it’s all the same set up for every rod and it sits leveled. Some rods will perform more optimally in this set up, while others will be hindered by the bucket position.

Some people will use a rod holder, so then it all depends on the actual rod holder type. Lots of variety there.

Overall, dead stick rods should be preferably longer than your typical jigging rod. However your personal style will be.

Thorne bros 32 or 36 dead stick. I love both mine. Well actually 1 broke last year in a freak window accident while it was on my dashboard

HT has a med lt that I use for pan fish with little jigs because of the light/sensitive tip, $10-$15. After 4″-6″ whippy tip it has good back bone. I’ve landed some nice bass and small Northern with it. HT PLC 27 LM. I absolutely love it.
Supposed to be a dead stick rod. Dead Meat rod is good. I can’t see spending lots of $$$ for a rod you’re going to lay down until you get a bite.
