looking to buy my first custom ice fishing rod and am stuck between the tucr bull whip and the thorne bros power noodle, both have the really sensitive tip and im looking at 28 inch in both, also whats the advantage to the split grip on these rods when they have such a sensitive tip, any input would be great thanks guys.
Your really comparing apples to oranges. If you want to compare apples to apples you need to compare the Thorne Bros Powernoodle & the TUCR Precision Noodle. I’ve had both the TB PN & TUCR PN & prefer the TB PN as it is more sensitive because the tip is a smaller diameter than the TUCR PN. I know as I took a caliper to both. I prefer the TB PN for 4mm & smaller tungsten jigs. I have a Bullwhip that I use 5mm tungsten & small spoons on. It’s really a Noodle rod designed for heavier stuff. I do have TUCR precision & a Quick Tip that I rarely use as I’m a tip watcher. Is the split grip needed on a noodle rod? No, but it is nice when pistol gripping the rod. Thorne Bros has a stealth handle that is awesome as well. You won’t go wrong with either company, as they produce great products. Hope this helps. Good luck with your decision.
