TUCR Quick Tip

I picked up a couple of these used to add to the growing stock in the garage. Any personal reviews?

love em
very sensitive action. Great backbone
Great Jumbo Perch rod and 15″-18″ Walleye rod

Tip however is very brittle. Be careful with the tip and don’t use a rod sock.

I found that out the hard way

I bought one a few years ago with the intentions of using it for crappies. It does not fit my style of crappie fishing. I do use it for walleye on red and stream trout.

Love them. Great crappie and perch rod. Wouldn’t mind finding a couple used 36” Quick Tips for sale.

QT is my go to TUCR rod…

I have one and wont give it up….. works great for panfish and finicky walleye, just need to keep it protected in transit

I received both of them in the mail today….in one piece, thank goodness. They are 32’s, one split one regular grip, and look to be in great shape! I used to really like the 13 fishing snitch rod for perch/small walleye and hope/expect this to be a significant upgrade in quality while on the same line for application. As all have said, protect the tip seems to be the key!

Just make sure you’re careful with your hooksets. They were discontinued because a lot of them broke when people high-sticked them on the hookset.

Hooksets and storage/transport seem to be the challenges. Makes sense, but I have less than the cost of a new TUCR into both so it’s worth the shot.

I think I have a plan for storage/transport but time will tell. I’m switching from the eagle claw case with 6 combos and the 2B XL rod case with 4 combos to either the Otter 48 Deep or the Plano Ice Hunter. Either one of those should hold my 10 combos securely/safely, and house the couple I have that are 42 and 45 inches. Then I would plan on mostly bringing 4 combos out on the ice with me in the 2B XL case when space/weight is an issue. Those big cases aren’t cheap but when these rods are $100-$150 each it’s seems worth it.

Yup, that’s the perfect storage plan. Most of the trouble came from high sticking, but rod socks took out quite a few too. The trouble was the tip is so fast and light, you could bend it in the sock and not realize it. And since it’s a carbon rod, the bent to a point, then they snap. It’s a bummer, a lot of people loved them.

Never was a fan of them. Kind of like the commander. Fighting the fish w all backbone
