Pistol Grip Rods

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 grand total of two pistol grip rods. Both have Zebco 33's on them.
Both are 5'6". On the rare occassions when I am tossing a spinner bait in
close quarters I'll break one out.

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 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...

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.

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!

Mostly used when you go out fishing,but one could use it at home to practice
a little bit I suppose!
