Pistol grips are definitely coming back.  I just sold two on that big auction site.  Bought both for $36 total.  Sold both for $240.

Gonna grab a st. Croix Premier pistol grip for occasional bank beating if I don't feel like launching the boat.

I had a Premier a few years back.  Really nice rod.  Lew's just came out with one for Hank Parker.  It's funny how what was once old is now "new" again and the young guys think it's the latest/greatest.

Pic of my arsenal before a day on the water last spring. Pay no attention to the baits tied on, they are all junk ?. Left to right:

Lews tourney MB on St Croix Premier Crankbait 70MHM

Pflueger President on St Croix Premier 70MLF

Pflueger Summit XT on St Croix Triumph 66MF

Daiwa Tatula CT on St Croix Mojo Bass 71MF

 

Im now realizing my dads got nicer gear than I do:

Plueger Summit XT on St Croix Avid 60MLF

Shimano Curado on St Croix Eyecon 70MM

Abu Revo SX on St Croix Mojo Bass 68MF

Shimano Stradic CI4 on St Croix Legend Tournament Walleye 68MXF

My COVID-19 boredom purchases. Metanium MGL B and a Dobyns Extreme 704c.

 

[J Francho]

That 704 is a really nice rod.  It does a lot of things well.

[thunderblack]

Do you like the metanium so far?

So far, I've caught fish using a spinnerbait, chatterbait, Keitech, and a 3/8oz jig on it. It's like the shorter baby brother to the 734. Such a versatile combo. 

[JediAmoeba]

I am pretty excited for this backup jerkbait setup.

[NYWayfarer]

Great to get my new Lew's Pro TI reel and Lew's TP1 Black Speed Stick out on the water.

I upgrade the knobs on my Lew's Tournament MB to Winn Grip ones.

This Ito arrived yesterday from a great member on here.  TD-Ito with Megabass purple spool, Zillion TW SV G1 spool, and he even threw in a free reel cover and Megabass bait!  Class act for sure!  Thank you Scrapiron!

Check the magnets to see if they're lined up. I bought one in great condition for an amazing price, and the magnets were not aligned. I wonder if the seller knew that, or didn't know and sold it because it wasn't braking properly

Is that Megabass 1010 spool in that one?  Also, did you run down the world supply of SV103s?  I can't even find one for sale on ebay even at a ridiculous price.  

Haha!  Yes, I have 11 of them (6 XS and 5 H)!  Three currently in rotation and the rest are NIB as I think they will hold their value in the future but I don't plan on selling them as they really are my favorite reels.  And yes, that is a Megabass FX68 Custom spool which I believe is a 1010.

I have purchased previously from this seller who is an active member on here and he is a good guy.  Everything looks good and the reel was tuned by Ian.  Thank you for the heads up though.

Just build one using a Zillion and a TDZ magnet set plate. I did for under $200 (well, before the upgrades) back when you could buy the frame and side pieces separately for $80 before tackle trap made you buy the kit for $110.

And/or buy some of MountainMan83's spacers!  They are awesome!

Well that’s a tease lol.

A new finesse special...Dobyns with a CT SV!

[mrpao]

Nice color match.

Put a carbon fiber handle on the reel and it will match the rod even more.

My bad. Was waiting until I finished cleaning it and got my handle installed.

I almost bought that exact combo a few times over the winter but never did.  Really wish I had now.  

 

What are you going to throw on it?
