You’re going to love the Quicktip. My first TUC was a 28″ Noodle that I broke in on early ice right after Thanksgiving. I was outfishing my buddies that were along, nearly 5:1! The following week, I went back to the shop and saw Adam and John, and they set me up with a 32″ Precision for jigging my blades and 1/8 oz spoons. Needless to say at that point, I was “hooked” on TUCR’s.
At the show, I stopped by the booth to say “hi” to the guys, and to persuade my brother-in-law to pick up a Noodle of his own. Adam, with the help of Brad Hawthorne, was able to convince me to pick up a 32″ Quicktip. I’m sure glad they did. As Brad described, this is the “crescent wrench” of rods in my bag. I can do pretty much whatever I need with this rod, with respect to a variety of lures. I’ve been using it lately to target very finnicky walleyes with 1/8 oz Slender Spoons, taking some cues from Will’s technique while filming you guys in Ely. As soon my bank account recovers from the holidays, I’ll be ordering another Quicktip, this time 36″ for hole hopping. I’m looking forward to using it on Mille Lacs for some giant perch. Awesome rods, and even better folks to deal with, at TUCR!
