Super User tcbass Posted June 3, 2014 Super User Posted June 3, 2014 I've seen some fishing shows where the pro's have a round, bulbous fishing rod balancer. However, I've never seen this balancer sold anywhere. Does anyone here use them and if so, where do you find them for sale? Quote

0119 Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Are you talking about that giant foam monstrosity Shaw Grisby and Roland Martin are using on their shows? Or.... the Larry Dahlberg rod balancer butt cap with the interchangeable weights? The balancer used to be available at bass pro. But considering Dahlberg's new sponsorship with Mud Hole, it probably will be available only there soon. Quote
21farms Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 it's called "cush-it" and made by luna sea. i think more than balance, it will keep your rod afloat if you drop it overboard. i dunno...hurts my eyes every time i see ol' shaw fishing with those things on major league fishing. Quote
FlipSide Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Sometimes I think Shaw Grigsby might have gone off the deep end lol Quote

But considering Dahlberg's new sponsorship with Mud Hole, it probably will be available only there soon. I had a couple of these a several years ago from Bass Pro. Came with several weights you just put in the butt cap and screw it on your rod, back then the ones I had were made of course for the Bass Pro rods which had threaded inserts to screw the cap on with. Thought I saw some newer ones that could just slip over the butt of any rod without screwing it on. Quote
Getfit74 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Just found the one I had here's what it looks like. You can do the same thing with just a butt cap and a few quarters. Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted June 5, 2014 Super User Posted June 5, 2014 These maybe what you are talking about http://lunaseasports.com/ laughing pretty hard here at my desk after visiting that link..... NEVER have I EVER pulled in a fish with this method.... Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted June 5, 2014 Super User Posted June 5, 2014 If you aren't concerned about appearance, anything you can do with the BPS balancer kit you can do with generic chair leg tips and quarters and duct tape. Once upon a time, I sought to make a balancer attachment more permanent and so I used that rubber stuff that you dip pliers handles into and I sealed the rod end with that. Mixed results. Quote
