[QUOTE="gonefshn, post: 201629, member: 380"] I've never really found the "perfect" perch rod. Although I do think Thorne's are the best out there. Years ago though I gave up on looking and decided to build my own. I start with a 30" fiberglass/graphite composite blank. I put it in my cordless drill and sand the tip down until it's about like your spring bobber. I then put single foot spinning rod guides on it including the tip. The tip is a PAIN IN THE ASS to get on since it's a larger eye than you'd find on most rods that size, but by being larger it allows the line to go thru even with ice built up on it. What else I like about this setup is that you have a great backbone just past the tip. With the soft tip you can see about any bite and with the stiffer backbone just down from it your hook sets are solid. And, if you happen to catch a larger fish such as a pike or eye, you have plenty of backbone for them as well. [/QUOTE]
