Super User bigbill Posted October 27, 2015 Author Super User Posted October 27, 2015 I forgot, get distracted. Then buy more. I know there not expensive but there 10x better then my older stuff. I noticed I had pistol grip rods in the stash too. The grandchildren will fish forever. 2 Quote
Drew03cmc Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Any older graphite pistol grip stuff is gold to me. I can't seem to find good ones for use in a canoe anymore. I wince thinking about putting a hundred dollar rod in the canoe, but those cheap, older pistol grip rods are ideal. All I can say is you stumbled upon some good ones. What were they? Quote

BP still offers them. My nephew loves them. He bought two of them for use in his canoe. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted October 27, 2015 Author Super User Posted October 27, 2015 Fishnsave has them. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 27, 2015 Global Moderator Posted October 27, 2015 I really did find an older pistol grip rod. Can't remember the exact name but it's a Berkley "Worm and Jig rod". It has a foam handle and was floating along the bank, missing 1 guide and the insert from the tip top. Fixed it up and used it as a spinnerbait rod in my kayak a few times before I found an old pistol grip Lew's Speed Stick that I liked better. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted October 27, 2015 Super User Posted October 27, 2015 How much for the speedstik? How much for the Berkley? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 27, 2015 Global Moderator Posted October 27, 2015 How much for the speedstik? How much for the Berkley? I doubt either is worth enough to be worth the shipping cost of a rod. Quote
PitchinJigz Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I find it odd that you bought $200 worth of stuff and "forgot" about it... 1 Quote
Drew03cmc Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I doubt either is worth enough to be worth the shipping cost of a rod. if Wayne passes, I'm nice and close. We could work something out on the Berkley. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted October 27, 2015 Author Super User Posted October 27, 2015 I'm going to use them. I think I purchased them from TW probably over two years ago. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted October 27, 2015 Author Super User Posted October 27, 2015 I find it odd that you bought $200 worth of stuff and "forgot" about it...I put things aside when I found out I had cancer. Time stops when we hear the BIG C? But today medicine is unbelievable.I'm doing ok now. I think about life different now. Beating cancer is like catching a new world record LMB 10X over. If any BR brother has cancer and you want to just talk im here. Been there done that seriously. It's not the end. Nothing will ever beat me down. 3 Quote
Super User bigbill Posted October 28, 2015 Author Super User Posted October 28, 2015 Found two more new casting rods. The R2S brand river 2 sea. Both 6' casting rods one med/lt, one lt. Both are kind of whippy at the 1/3rd upper section good for casting lighter baits. Anyone use R2S rods? Quote
Drew03cmc Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Bill, fishandsave has a lot of pistol grip sticks, but theyre two piece. I'll have to look closer to my local junk stores. Quote
