13 FISHING Tickle Stick Gen 3 23in UL Ice Rod TS3-23UL | 1/64–1/16 oz | PC2 Flat-Tip

Meet the 13 FISHING Tickle Stick Gen 3 23in Ultra Light ice rod. This updated model refines a longtime favorite with a Flat-Tip blank and PC2 construction, delivering a cleaner feel on the ice and more precise control when tiny jigs dance under the surface. The evolution sits on a foundation of lightweight, responsive blank material that helps you sense each subtle change in the line.

At the heart of this rod is the PC2 Flat-Tip Blank Construction. This design pairs parallel composite fibers with a flat-tipped profile to boost strike detection and keep the blank from rolling during lifted or pulled bites. The result is a steadier platform for delicate hookups, even when the action is light and finessed. A Hi-Vis Tip shines in low-light or crowded setups, making it easier to track subtle bites and sudden movements on an otherwise calm day on the ice.

Comfort and control come standard. The Tickle Stick features a Custom Evolve reel seat that stays firm under pressure, a Hand Selected 3A Portuguese cork handle for a refined feel, and a Comfort Rubber Reel Seat Insert that adds durability and a touch more cushion where you grip. These details translate to longer sessions with less fatigue and more confident handling when you’re switching between light jigs and subtle, nuanced line twitches.

Practical use scenarios highlight why this rod is a frequent choice for ultralight ice jigging. The 23in length and ultra-light action are tuned for finesse presentations, allowing you to present tiny lures with more natural motion. The combination of a flat-tip blank and high-visibility tip supports a confident hook-set even when bites are faint or when ice conditions tempt you to overreact. In short, the Tickl e Stick Gen 3 is designed to be an approachable, high-sensitivity option that keeps you in close touch with what's happening below the surface.
