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!
