I am looking for a quality, cork handled, pistol grip casting rod, 6
to 6.5' to house a Shimano Calcutta Conquest 50 for 6lb test action.

Pistol grips have fallen somewhat from popularity, in favor of
straight gripped rods. St. Croix makes a 5'6" pistol grip casting
rod in both the Avid and Premier series blanks.

BassPro has several different pistol grip rods in the $30 - $50 price
range, but I can't vouch for these rods as for years now, I only use
rods I've built myself.

Thanks Steve,

I have never owned a pistol grip so I am still debating it. I think it would
be fun since I will be using it a lot for pond fishing from an inflatabe
raft. Seems to me a pistol grip would be handy for casting in that
situation.

I'll probably borrow my friends, he has an old Crucial pistol grip, to see
if I like it.
