The comment I made about the Huckabee Dippin Sticks having a lite tip and breaks easily I need to address more. I have never broke a tip on any of my Dippin Sticks ever. What I meant to state is it's lighter than either the Pullin Rod or Meat Draga and has a lighter tip. All three of these rods have a purpose in the techniques I fish. I am sorry if I have mislead anyone with the previous post. You will not find a lighter, sensitive, hand and arm friendly rod out there for the technique it's made for. If you have questions about techniques and the rod for it please give me a call......Ranger
