11justin22 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Anybody seen these yet? Look strangely like another rod I have...... http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Bionic-Blade-XPS-Micro-Guide-Trigger-Rods/product/1209290947195/ Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 5, 2013 Super User Posted January 5, 2013 BPS Ducketas Exactly what I thought when I just went to the link. It looks like ducket and veritas had a baby. Quote
Stasher1 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I guess someone at BPS actually reads the reviews. The previous version of the Bionic Blade received a lot of negative reviews due to BPS' decision to switch from a full cork grip to a foam split-grip and the aluminum nut on the reel seat. I see they have now divided the BB into two different lines: standard (with full cork grips) and micro (with foam split grips). Smart move. 1 Quote

I was wondering because the catalog showed the cork version. I prefer last years look to the cork/Burgundy coloring combo. I see the reel matches the micro rod Quote

I see the reel matches the micro rod If you go to the site and search for "bionic", it'll pull up both versions. Looks like a white Carbonlite to me. I'm sure that was intentional. There are a lot of folks who won't (or can't) shell out $100 for a rod. The new BB Micro will let them have the same look, at a much lower price. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted January 6, 2013 Super User Posted January 6, 2013 Looks like a white Carbonlite to me. The new Bionic reel is white. Also, the new Bionic has an aluminum frame. The old one didn't. Hootie Quote
PondBoss Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 might just have to pick one up next time I;m in the store. Quote
Fishin24/7 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Anyone used one of these new rods yet? Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted January 8, 2013 Super User Posted January 8, 2013 Hmmmm.....was just looking at this rod on the site. Would look good with a ChronarchE sitting on it, lol. Then again, anything looks good with a Shimano sitting on it, haha. Quote
