This makes me think of when I was a young kid - I cut my teeth on 5000 sized abu garcias, and an ancient daiwa millionaire that I still have - on a ray scott signature fiberglass rod lol.
Bass lures commonly weighed 5/8 ounce. When the first shimano bantams came out, I tried and couldn’t cast them for beans. But later bought a bantam 1000 that I still have. Did find a use for it, throwing small jigs for Crappie.
I miss the 51/2 foot casting rods with the pistol grip. Does anyone even make one anymore? Seems like I haven’t seen one in a long time, even on low end rods.
