Yes, the Bullwhip is perfect for tungsten.
DanJanuary 13, 2019 at 9:43 pm #1825754Thanks guys I appreciate it.i know on some of my other rods if I use a bigger tungsten jig it tends to bend the tip down a little bit
January 14, 2019 at 12:04 am #1825769The Bullwhip excels with 5mm tungsten jigs. Anything smaller and I use my Precision Noodle’s. Not that the BW can’t do it, the PN is just great for tungstens up to 4mm. Smaller tungstens on the BW may be harder to detect up bites but it’s more than sensitive for everything else.
The BW also has the added advantage of being able to fish ultralight raps of all varieties and small spoons really well. I’ve even live-lined crappie minnow’s with it. Great rod.

Yesterday I got the chance to also use a friends Precision Noodle, and I actually much preferred my Bullwhip with the tungsten over the PN. Maybe some of it is just because I am used to the bullwhip and how it acts.

January 14, 2019 at 12:45 pm #1825879We designed our Bullwhip with tungsten jigs in mind. That said, it is very versatile and can handle a range of weights. The Precision Noodle really shines for the smallest tungstens and lead jigs or when the bite is neutral or negative.

Exact reason I sold my PN. Never used it as the Bullwhip is so versatile.
January 14, 2019 at 6:49 pm #1826003Does anybody know the tip diameter of a Bullwhip?
January 15, 2019 at 8:41 am #1826149It is very versatile. My plan is to add one quality rod every year or every other year. Last year was a Bullwhip, this year was Precision, and my next one will probably be another Bullwhip just so I can have 2 different presentations ready to go on a quality rod that I can quickly drop down a hole if option A isn’t what the fish are after.

My first TUCR was the Bullwhip. It was between that and the Precision Noodle. I chose the BW because of the versitality it offered. That’s when I realized that a PN would handle 2.5-3mm tungstens much better and it really does. It handles a 3mm like a BW handles a 5mm. I usually rig one PN with a 4mm and one with a 2.5 or 3mm and an ice fly above. My BW usally starts with a 5mm but from there I can do pretty much whatever I want. Having 2 PN’s really helps me sometimes. With those and the BW, all of my panfish needs are covered from super-finesse to obnoxious. It’s nice.
If the Bullwhip is more your style you’ll love having two.
