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...

I have two 5-1/2 foot pistol grip rods that I use with spinnerbaits as
well
as soft plastics when I'm fishing back in the flooded timber or buckbrush.
They're fine rods... just about as long from the reel seat to the tip as
my
6-foot worm rod. They're not for limp-wristed sisters, though..... a big
bass can make you wish you had that extra ten inches of butt during a
battle.

I have Abu Garcia reels on both of mine.... the old, red, round ones that
I've had on them for the past seventeen years.

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?
