  Well I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a Thorne Brother quiver stick stealth. I have been wanting one for a while but I could never wrap my head around paying 100 bucks for a ice rod. If im lucky it will be here by Friday and I can use it this weekend. If not I just might have to take a day or to off next week. I just hope im not disappointed with it because that will suck. BAD.

I bought the power noodle and quiverstick and sold them in the same ice season!! I mainly fish st croix legends because of its sensitivity.

Let us know your results. If you like it I might get one too. I've been on the fence for a while.

Well, its here. I put a fluger spinning real on it for now but I will probably go with a frabill 101 strait line when I find one. It seems pointless to buy such a light rod and put a heavy real on it. Any thoughts? At first glance it is a little stiffer at the tip than I had expected. On the other hand after tying on a 1/32 lindy toad and bouncing it the overall feel of this rod is outstanding. I will diffidently be fishing this weekend so I will let you know what I think after I pull a few through the hole with it.

Well I got out for an hour after work. I kept 11 fish 5 crappie and 6 nice gills. That being said the quiver stick is pretty nice. I could feel the jig and the bite far better than any other rod I own. I have a clam a meat stick a frabill ultra light and a frabill quick tip. Of those rods the quick tip is my favorite. It is the most sensitive. I will say it don't even come close to comparing with the quiver stick on feel. On the other hand the tip is much more stiffer than any other rod I have ever used for pan fish. If you are a spring bobber guy this is diffidently not the rod for you. If that is what you are looking for you would be much happier with the TB power noodle.  For me it is pretty much what I was looking for the balance and weight of the rod feel amazing. The stiff tip give you great control while your shaking the jig. As of now I would say the only thing that could make this rod better would be to lighten up the tip ever so slightly. Not much though. In all I think I will be very happy with it but I did only use it for an hour. I will have a full weekend with it so my opinions may change. I will keep you posted.
