I remember when pistol grip rods were THE rods to use for bass fishing,
back
in the 70's. My first rods were pistol grips, and I probably caught my
first hundred bass on them lol. Wish I was 13 again...

Good Lord, do you want to go through all that puberty, dating, adolescence
mess again? Let me be 25 again!

35 for me. My boys were 5 and 10 respectively and loved to fish with dear
old dad. Oh well, I will be 50 on the 17th and they just ordered me a Dell
Axim x50v for that special day. Nice to have them employed too. ;-) Joe Z.

I don't know about Warren...but I do! Emma Sue and me in the
hayloft....you bet!!!!!! Not to mention the "fishin" when I was a
youngster grin!

I used to use them quite a bit, but after one season with a good dose of
"tennis elbow" I gave them up and have never had the same problem again. I
love the close quarters accuracy of them, but will pass on em now.

Medium heavy rod 5' 6".

That should work well for spinnerbaits.

For a reel, I'll have to suggest a Curado, but I'm a bit biased as I own
several of them.

I received a pistol grip fishing rod but I don't know how/when I am suppose
to use it. Could someone also recommend a reel to pair with it?


I have a Team Diawa 6' pistol grip that I really like for Rattle traps.
Its the Top Water model and I have a Ambassador 4601 high speed reel
on it. I have been a reluctant changer to the longer handle rods but
they do handle better, but I still like the pistol grip for that purpose.

25 is WAY too over rated.. Young enough to do everything, just too damn
stupid to know what to do. :)

Nah, by the time I was 25, I had a pretty good handle on things. I was
young enough to do anything I wanted, old enough to know when not to, and
young enough not to care. Oh well, I can't go back, and being a grandpa is
pretty cool, and that's not something that a 25 year old can do!
