[QUOTE="ccm, post: 348843, member: 13447"] The first bass rod I ever owned was a pistol grip Diawa Kevlar reinforced rod. I think it was either 5'4'' or 5'6'' and it was matched with a 2 bearing Lews BB-1 Speed Spool. My dad gave it to me when I was 11 or 12. it was an excellent rod and reel combo plus I caught lots of fish with it to boot. Still got the old Lews speed spool it has since been retired. I still like pistol grip rods for precision casting. Cant beat it in heavy timber or getting under docks. Sadly they have gone out of fashion in the fishing world. I only wish I could find one that was of real quality as most of the ones I've seen now are cheaply constructed. By the way I'm a young buck here who really can appreciate high quality equipment whether new or 30+ years old. [/QUOTE]
