I haven’t fished with the other rods, but picked up a couple TUC rods this year and absolutely love them. I’ve got the 36″ precision and a 32″ precision noodle. I used both today and am very impressed. I haven’t gotten anything with any size to it on the 36″ but it seems to have plenty of backbone. I was also VERY pleased with the service from TUC. Adam was a huge help with rod selection and made sure it was ready for me to bring north to use this week. I ordered it on a bit of a short timeline and he ensured it was ready then met me on the way north to hand deliver it.
Like I said, I can’t compare to the others and my experience with the TUC rods consists of one solid day of crappie fishing, but so far I’m very impressed with the rods and TUC in general. If nothing else, give Adam or one of the guys a call and visit with them before you make your decision.
