I want to build a noodle rod for small jigging spoons or larger tungsten. I’ve handled the thorne bros power noodle and I like it but curious how it compares to other options like the basskhang, DH customs or TUC blanks. Any significant difference in action or power between the different options?
I have used a Thorne Bros Power Noodle for probably 10 years now. Absolutely love it. But it is going to be a little too light of a tip for spoons or larger tungsten. In my opinion anyway.
The T bros noodle is the OG, was the first real noodle tip blank. DH and TUCR both came out a few years later. THe DH blank is great, super stiff backbone with a soft tip. IF your looking for blanks, the BK noodle blank is the best bang for buck blank. I think they are currently $9 each and they are almost exactly the same as the Tbros and DH options.
Small spoons and large tungsten, I would go with the Della bay tip dip blank. Slightly stiffer, and more of a parabolic bend than a Noodle tip. But will handle those smaller spoons and 5mm tungsten really well.
