I have switched almost exclusively to finesse fishing over the past several months. My other ARK spinning and casting rods have performed well, so I thought I would give the Tharp Twitch rod a shot for throwing Ned rigs. I paired it with an ARK Gravity BFS reel, and I was not disappointed. I absolutely loved the light weight of this pairing, and I was able to throw 1/16 oz Neds effortlessly for over 6 hours. I was using 8 lb fluoro, and only experienced 2 backlashes when the wind kicked up mid-cast. The sensitivity of the rod enabled me to detect even the lightest of bites, but it had enough backbone for solid hook sets. I highly recommend this set up for BFS fishing.
Only used the rods a couple of time in the length I have had them. Very light weight good quality and balanced well, paired with curado reels i will purchase a couple more in the future.
Sensitive. Lotta tip and a lot of backbone. Have three of them and will buy three more.
I love the rod and they preformed great. The only problem is the logo comes the butt of the rod. I bought 4 others earlier in year and they came off after a few weeks. Do u sale replacements for them.
Only problem was …. I wish I had bought more!!
Great rods .. great sale .. great shipping!!
