Favorite tuned up rod for small spoon perch/crappie?

This subject is probably beat to death,but what’s people favorite extra fast tip tuned up rod that would handle 1/16 spoons for perch/crappie and would that be the same rod for small jiggin raps/#3 rippin raps? I’m in Nd middle of nowhere in Nd no rods here. Thanks

You should go straight to the source, Tony. Talk to Adam or John, they’ll tell you everything you need to know and then some! Sounds like a Bullwhip is what you need.

I do not own the Bill whip or the Fusion. That being said I have a QT that I have used for small spoons (1/16 Tingler Spoon) for a number of years and absolutely love it.

The Quick Tip and our noodle rods (Bullwhip, Precision Noodle) are our extra fast tipped rods. The Quick tip is a Carbon Fiber “feel” rod and the noodles are fiberglass “visual” rods. If you want to feel the bite, go QT. If you want to see it first, go Bullwhip. I use my Fusion for what you have mentioned, but it is a fast to moderate action tip.

I will use small spoons on my Bullwhip and it handles them well but I mostly use Tungsten jigs up to 5mm for that rod and my applications. I purchased a Fusion last season for small to medium spoon fishing. It doesn’t have as soft of a tip as the BW but fishes and load ups nicely.

Depending on the size of the spoon I have been using the Bull Whip for lighter lures and the QT for the heavier panfish spoons..

Thanks a lot. I’m wanting it for heavier side panfish sooons. I’ve found some small bodies of water with 16” supposedly crappie and verified 16” perch so I’m using small walleye /large panfish stuff. My first time fishing it last sat I caught quite a few 8-11” perch on Crappie fatheads , but the 2 big fish I lost in the hole probably 14”,s hit the only 2 walleye size fatheads I had so gonna try bigger next wknd. I’m proabably gonna start with a 6mm/plastic and 1/8 tingler, and small slab raps ,rippin raps I think I’m goin quick tip. By the website It looks like what I’m looking for is the quick tip or the fusion. I have called tuned up and left message but I’m sure they’re pretty busy. I have a bunch of legend blacks right now with custom spring bobbers I put on that I like for a 2-4 mm tungsten a but too light for the bigger stuff. And have cple st Croix avid med/light but the med light is still pretty stiff.

I just ordered the quick tip

X2 Easily my favorite rod

I would have said QT or Fusion so in my eyes you made a good choice.

Finnaly got to use the quicktip today, it’s perfect for the rippin rap. And also bought the bullwhip for 4,5mm and plastics. Yep they’re awesome. I got a nice 12.75” perch then a school of baby 5” crappies came in and could feel and see the bites still on the quick tip.

Nice perch! Tell me where and I will come help you get a 13″+!

Sorry for bringing up the infamous 16 incher. Was supposed to see a pic on a tape. Ya these guys on this lake don’t catch em. They’re callin 11”,s big yesterday. lol and I’ve caught 80 perch a wknd and haven’t seen bigger than a 11. Just wanted to say that didn’t wanna be the guys that says people catch 16”,s without a pic on a tape.
