Hi guys
Can anyone recommend a good budget conscious nibble tip rod for whiting?
I’ve got a shimano impact nano which is kick ass but looking for a cheap alternative to set up as a spare pre rigged on the boat.
Cheers

Re: Nibble Tip Rods
What ive got is 3 off these guys,I wouldnt go after Whiting without them
TICA
NIBBLE TIP EXTREME 8ft 6 inch
SDLA 425902
They have a full butt and not a split one
From Hooked On Tackle -Werribee about $100 Odd
They take a bit of getting used too because of the Length

Re: Nibble Tip Rods
Im not a fan of graphite rods for whiting
I have jarvis walker vector nibble tip rods that kmart used to sell they are light and have a good action
Not sure if they are still available though

Re: Nibble Tip Rods
What exactly is a nibble tip rod? A rod with a very fine, whippy tip? What are its advantages, easy to detect bites or does its action help hook the fish, especially fish that are timid biters (I have no idea what whiting are like)? Thanks in advance.

Re: Nibble Tip Rods
A normal rod, with an ultra fine sensitive removable tip section. Because that section has absolutely zero power in it even the faintest of bites are transmitted through it.April Fool wrote: ↑Sun Feb 24, 2019 2:11 pmWhat exactly is a nibble tip rod?

If all you want is a cheapy spare for the non fishers yepi just get any cheapy you find. JW should still have cheapies, Shimano have released budget nibble tips in the past, and if you want a cheaper almost as good as the impact nxt JW have the Rovex specialist sensor tip (retail around $65 but can be found under $50 on a sale)
