Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk AL Fishing Talk Pistol Grip Rods

I guess everyone who reads here knows that I like them, but that's mainly because I fish sitting down. I think the modern pistol grip that has a blank that goes to the end of the rod provides more sensitivity than any other rod setup. I put a 3"x1&1/8" foregrip on it and can use it to fight a big fish and have essentially the same leverage as a long handle. I build most of them with 7' blanks now. They balance near the middle of the foregrip.

Didn't have any trouble landing this one on a crappie jig and 5 lb line Tuesday.
