Bull whip question

Thinking of pulling the trigger on one I am a die hard spring bobber fan will I be disappointed with this? is it worth the money? A lot for a ice rod but I would like 1 real good rod once in my life thank you. I will use it for sunfish and crappies I use small tungsten jigs and small spoons I am thinking the 28 inch bull whip.

You will never go wrong buying a TUCR rod. The BW is an amazing rod. You will not regret it.

I can’t speak for the bullwhip, but I do have one of the flat tip rods by 13 fishing. It’s literally a super nice spring bobber connected to your rod at all times and I’ve never even considered going back.

I would call TUCR and talk to them about length of rod. I had a 28″ and I liked it, but I ilke 32″ more. Bullwhip is great for medium tungsten up to perch spoons. Precision noodle is better for small tungsten to medium tungsten.

I’ve got the precision noodle and the bullwhip. Both are amazing rods. Bullwhip can suffice for all panfish applications, but if fish are biting really light the precision noodle adds a bit more sensitivity. Either way, you can’t go wrong with either of these rods (or any TUCR rod for that matter).

Before getting my Bullwhip, I used several different spring bobbers on my ugly sticks and cabelas rods. Since getting the Bullwhip I haven’t felt any desire to go back. It is my favorite rod from TUCR. I use mine for medium to large tungsten and occasionally small spoons. It really is phenomenal. I would suggest getting the 30”-32” length. You gain a bit more action and backbone in the longer rods. I have a 32” and love the feel, but it is just a hair too long for my Otter Cottage. I would switch to a 30” if I had the chance.

X2 I started out with a 30″ and bought another Bullwhip the following year only it was a 32″ and needless to say I like the extra 2 inches a lot more. It depends on your style of fishing too (house,hole hopping) but you will not be disappointed in the Bullwhip I know that.

I used to use spring bobbers exclusively and switched to a 32″ bullwhip last year. Best decision I have ever made. No hassle with the bobber getting frozen or the differences in switching to heavier/lighter baits. You won’t regret the switch.

I would say that the Precision Noodle is a better rod for smaller jigs (1/32oz or 4mm tungsten or smaller) but yet it can handle a 1/16oz spoon if needed. If you plan to fish 1/32oz or 4mm tungstens baits or heavier, then go the with the Bullwhip

I don’t think you will be disappointed with the BW.It’s a great multi-purpose rod.I fish small to large tungsten and 1\16 ounce spoons no problem.It has a good tip for bite detection.I don’t think you will miss the spring bobber.I have 2 of the 32in. I don’t think I would go any shorter than 30in. but that’s just my preference.

I have 1 BW 32 in. and another should be here within the week along with a Fusion. My Christmas gifts to me. I’ve been good this year.

I think it depends on what kind of fish you are catching as well as how they are biting. I’ve caught a 14″ crappie on my pn and I wish I would have been using my bw. I have used some pretty small jigs on my bw and it did pretty well. Another option if you like spring bobbers is a fusion. Use the spring on the small jigs and take it off for the heavier stuff.
