I don’t have any photos in action - the weather has not cooperated, but I have used it and it is a fantastic jig stick - I actually ordered a custom one for my daughter. To top it off it is neon Pink and she ABSOLUTLEY loves pink - excited for it to arrive.

I had been fishing with a Fenwick 'world class' medium light targeting yellow perch and they are indeed a fine rod but decided to step up to a power noodle from MAGS and it was a night and day difference!! I was detecting bites that I had not previously before seen and my bucket count went from 25 - 30 to 40 and 50 on comparable days. These power noodles are incredibly nice finesse rod; Worth every penny!!

I'm definitely happy with my purchase! Can tell a big difference in feel and quality compared to a rod you can get at the big stores. Only complaint is when hooking a big fish the reel tried to pull away from the rod due to it being held on with rubber bands. Nevertheless, would not hesitate to buy another!

Bought the custom power noodle rod. Took it out for the first time and was able to jig up a nice brown. You felt everything. The fish had the rod bent pretty good but the rod still had plenty of backbone to handle the fish now problem. I will be buying a custom carbon rod in the future.

Was purchased for a gift. Seems like a decent rod though. Won’t really know if it’s any good until I get the one that wasn’t on time for my Christmas gift

WE NEED ICE! I can not wait to try this rod. Expect it to perform like the 4 other MAGs rods I have purchased. Nothing but the best from MAGs!

First day out with it and handled this first steelie perfectly, great back bone and good control. Love how it feels and balanced (and it matches my reel haha). Couldn't ask for a better experience and rod.

These rods are the nuts. Still waiting for ice in NY but I’ve been messing with them off my docks on the river. Eyes are dead straight. Balance right on. Walleyes on the ice for sure. Thanks Mags!!

Years of jigging many different rods alongside each other on the Great Lakes and the Mags jigging rods are always the best tool for the job on our boat. The sensitivity, overall endurance, craftsmanship, and quality components make for a perfect tuned setup for maximizing our odds on the water. Really like the handles and how well they feel in use and how nice they clean up. Rods are truly a work of art and designed to have longevity against harsh elements/aggressive fishing methods. Thanks to ...

Last guided Ice Fishing on Sturgeon Bay 2022. Everyone was equipped with Mags custom medium rods and took the whitefish to task. Thanks for the attention to detail, recommendations and making a great product. Great Memories are made with Mags.

Bought the Custom Power Noodle and really enjoy it. Was able to pull up everything from smallies to dinky perch, rod has awesome bite detection and the backbone to get the job done! Thanks guys. Only complaint I have is they ship USPS, not their fault but USPS is terrible. I would pay extra for fedex shipping.

Haven't fished it yet (Indiana decided winter was a week this year) but I'm so stoked. I got a custom power noodle and it came as quickly as expected and she's a beauty. I'll definitely be considering getting some open water gear when it's time.

I bought this for my husband as a surprise gift. He absolutely loves it. He said it's extremely touchy so you will know when you have a fish on in that split grip. Quality work and fast shipping! I need more!

Just bought the rod within a month ago and finally got to put it to some good use! I was jigging for panfish and this beautiful female 24” Walleye decided to take a bite! This rod worked so well paired to my 13 freefall reel. 10/10 will always come back to mags for any of my fishing pole needs!

Stopped at the shop, talked to Pat and some of the team. He showed me the process and I was sold! Ordered one the following week, came in a timely manor, and hit the ice with it. Super sensitive, and very durable. I love the rod seat handle option!

I bought this rod as a Christmas gift for my Husband! He absolutely loves it and the design! He's already tried it out ice fishing and said its perfect and just what he wanted! I know he ordered from Mags before and Mags rods are always above and beyond for performance and look amazing!

David S.

I bought it for White Fish and Walleye fishing. Ice hasn’t been good enough yet for me to try it out. I can tell by holding it, that it will preform well for both. Will be ordering a couple more open water rods before the thaw in Oconto!!

One of the best rods I've ever owned. (7'2" MLF)This is my second one I've bought from MAGS now and I am always blown away by the balance sensitivity and craftsmanship that goes into their rods. Satisfaction 100% guaranteed!

This ML carbon rod from Mags is my favorite rod. It’s sensitive enough for pan fish yet still has enough backbone to land smaller pike. Bonus my daughter caught her first fish on it.

I highly recommend the power noodle rod. I bought the 28" split handle and was very pleased with the performance. I took it perch fishing in northern Michigan and the sensitivity of it is unmatched. But also has a great backbone for the hook set. I will definitely be purchasing more rods from Mags in the future!

Finally got good enough ice to try out my new 31 inch power noodle. I have a clam carbon scepter rod that I love. Well………. I am here to say the Mags power noodle has taken the spot of my “Go To” rod and the clam has been demoted. Mags power noodle is very sensitive and I could feel a lot more when using it. I think I had more fish on the ice because of it. I will be buying another in the near future. If you’re on the fence, I’m here to say buy it. It is a great rod.

Haven’t had it on the hard water but it was a little chilly on the Saginaw bay this morning. It did its job and kept me warm. This is not a cheaply made sweatshirt. It is pretty heavy and warm. I have 2 of them in different colors and styles. They are both great and worth the price!

Finally got to test out the new rod I got on sale. Works just as good as the older ones. It’s lightweight design makes snap jigging a breeze and they perform just as good as they look. Great service and quick delivery. Won’t be my last purchase.

Hands down the best rods I have owned. The split grips and handles feel like a glove on the hand. The feel and sensitivity is second to none... And what puts the cherry on the top..MADE in the USA!!!! Nothing better.

Hey everyone! I was curious if this would be a good buy or not. Let me tell you, it's one of the finest rods I've ever owned. Don't hesitate buy these rods! I'm working on replacing my ice rods with Mags next.

My first cast I landed a walleye on Lake Winnebago i couldn’t be more impressed. Cannt wait to save up for a panfish rod next. Thanks for the great product Tim

The first place I used my new Mags rod was on the Menominee river during the walleye run. The water was moving fast so the long cast I got from the rod allowed me to get the p-10 down to depth. The fish always bit on the pause so the sensitivity of the rod helped me pick up on lighter bites in the current. When the fish was hooked the rod loaded up and I was able to land more fish, and avoid fish getting into the cover.

The Mags Power Noodle has been a very versatile rod for me. Has a soft enough tip to see "up-bites" from crappie yet, isn't mushy when jigging like most other fiberglass rods I have used. That soft tip transitions into a nice backbone for deep water hooksets and to control bigger fish. In addition to jigs, I have also worked small to mid sized spoons and other hard jigging lures with the Power Noodle. Also available with Recoil guides for increased ice resistance and durability. Never was a b...

High quality. First purchase of a MAGS rod and well I am hooked. Finally convinced the guys to go to Green Bay early this last spring. Fishing was tough at first trying to break the ice but rod was flawless even at 20 degrees out. This is just one of the monsters caught. Works well in warm weather too. Adam

Quite possibly the best rod for throwing finesse style swimbaits and hair jigs and it’s made in Michigan. Very impressed with this rod. Paired nicely with a 2500 Daiwa Ballistic

Pulled the trigger on a 7ft medium action spinning rod. The people at mags were more then happy to accommodate my special requests and knocked this rod out of the park. Killer cork handle and details throughout. The rod performed beautifully, so much so , I put my st croix down for the night. Extremely light comfortable, perfectly balanced and great sensitivity. A+

I love my new reel and MAGS rod. The reel and rod are easily put together. Unscrew the handle piece on the rod handle slip the reel mount bracket into the groove and screw it back into place until your reel sets firmly. Everything is nice and light, the reel and the pole. Nibbles and bites can be felt without question. The handle of the rod is easy to hold and fits nicely in your hand. The entire package is awesome. I would encourage everyone to use MAGS for your everyday fishing needs. You will...

I received my 7' custom spinning rod, and tried it out for the first time, this without a doubt the best rod I have ever owned. Caught a few small mouth, and large mouth, and the action was awesome.

ML 7'2" super sensitive but can handle big fish when needed. Has great action and loads up great! The only thing I would change is putting recoil guides on it.

We have only used this rod on one trip so far and reeled in the biggest snapper of the day. Very good feel and plenty of backbone to get the job done! We paired it with a Talica 16 that is butter smooth and made a great combo. Our order came in quicker than expected and the packaging was way overkill to make sure no damage was done during shipping. The quality at this point seems to be very good. Well done Maggs! Very impressed so far. Thank you.
