Pistol Grip Rods
Here is a look back at the rods of the late 70s and early 80s. The rods discussed are Phenix Boron, Fenwick Eagle Graphite, Contender Boron and a rogue Fenwick Generation II Flippin' Stik. All of the rods except two are 5-feet 6-inches in length. Of the other two, one is 5-feet 3-inches (my favorite spinnerbait rod) and the Flippin' Stik is obviously 7-1/2 feet. These rods were purchased by me from 1976 through about 1980 and were fitted with either Lew's BB1 Speed Spools, ABU Garcia 1500Cs, ABU Garcia 2500Cs or ABU Garcia 4500Cs, depending on what the rod was going to be used for. The lone spinning rod in the bunch was fitted with a Diawa 2500C spinning reel and that was upgraded eventually to a Diawa 2500 Longcast around the 1982 timeframe. I hope you enjoy this look back in time and let me know if you'd like to see more of this type of content in the comments below.
