Latest BCB Product…2008 item, not boats

Guys-
One of my all time favorite rods was an older Team Diawa rod that had the black EVA foam handles. It also had a slight hump in the handle that was extremely comfortable. You cannot find these anymore. I would love it if a rod maker would come back with those types of handles- they are more comfortable, and less slick with wet hands. Any chance you could get one in a BCB rod??

Can you get 7 MH? Pretty standard size and power (not cranking rod) for worms, jigs, etc. I am ready to place an order when you get this. If not, no problem.

Thanks BCB!

PS – Thanks Phil for the explanation.

I have an old burgundy & black Team Daiwa 6′ topwater rod with the black foam in a pistol grip that I bought about 20 years ago and still use to this day. It’s from the exact same PowerMesh line as the Tony Bean smallmouth rod I mentioned above, though it was cork handled. If that’s the same ones you’re talking you’re right, they were some awesome rods.

You might try using a handle wrap to achieve the same effect.

Yes sir…I never would have sold mine except I saw one before mine go for that much. So I then saw a ‘want it now’ post on ebay for one and I contacted the guy through ebay that I put mine up for auction. I even stated that the cork had split and been reglued. He said hbe didn’t care. I soon got several requests for a ‘buy it now’ but left it up for auction. Amazingly it went for $167 + $15 shipping. And the guy was tickled to death to get it!
I think there’s still a ‘want it now’ out there now too.
