[QUOTE="Lostlunker, post: 23098, member: 670"] Backbone on the Tickle seems fine to me, I caught a couple decent sized Crappie with it last weekend and it didn't feel like a wet noodle. It does feel like it's not as fast to the backbone as my Al Dente but the added sensitivity outweighs that aspect. As far as the guides go I'll have to wait and see how that plays out I do fish outside a lot unless it's wicked cold out or the wind is howling so that could be a problem but they don't seem to be that small. I know they changed them this year because that was one of the big complaints from last year that the guides were too small. I have it paired with a No 8 CGI and for a dedicated panfish rod I like it so far from the 2 times I've had it out. Also since were on the topic of rods and reels, if anyone is in the market for a decent hardsided case Scheels has theirs on sale for $39. Pretty good deal since normally I think they cost around $80. [/QUOTE]
