I WAS FULLY READY TO BUY EITHER A DEAD STICK OR A COMMANDER BUT THE FUSION WON LOL SO THE OLD UGLY STIK WILL HAVE TO PASS FOR MY DEAD STICK THIS YEAR BUT I AM GONNA PAIR IT WITH THIS REEL THIS YEAR!!

Dave what type of tape is that holding the reels on. I’m guessing 3m brand.

can you show a picture of the action of that rod?

I’m setting up for the “biggins”, that’s a TUCR LTP…try to find that on their website. Mille Lacs big pike.

That is the reel that you can engage and disengage correct so it basically free spools and clicks to tell there is a fish on?

Those LTP rods are awesome for big pike on the I Fish Pro!

Brennon he ordered 36″ with 8″ handles.

WHAT IS THE NORMAL HANDLE LENGTH ON THOSE??

6″ is normal but a lot of people go 7″ or 8″

That’s the same setup I’m going to try out this year Dave!

…..and speaking of the LTP, I just got my LTP and Fusion in the mail a couple days ago, thanks John!

Why are you yelling at him?

Dave- what size bait runner did you put on that? I’ve been debating between the 20 series and the 30 series for my walleye deadstick setup.

I really like the 20 series…i think it’s more than adequate for pike and walleyes.
I’d like a 10 series for perch on the backwaters of the Mississippi River !!!

Love my TUCR Deadstick and have the same setup as Dave. I haven’t tried it with the iFish Pro though. I will have to give those a try this season.

Mike,
Please send my sincerest apologies to your wife !!!
I have not found a smaller size like a 10 or 15…
I have not looked yet this year for the newest product line though..
As for the 20 series.. I have no problems with putting out baits for perch and crappies and the reel works flawlessly !!
