  4. No bass pro rod is safe...

    in Rod & Reel building & repair

    Posted

    How did you get the cork off the fore grip? I keep looking at my BPS rods and wonder... How am I ever going to trim it down? I am hesitant because they are either Pro Qualifier or Johnny Morris Signature Series. I have a few Gander Mountain Guide Series rods to practice on but they do not have the same fore grip.

    Take a look at this thread i posted:

    i took my Bionic blade apart and posted a few pics. I was worried about taking it apart too because the fore grip is a little diffrent. i just took the plung and tore into and found it wasnt hard at all. To trim the reel seat down i used my dremel tool and a cutting disc with EXTREME care not to cut into the rod.

    I have been thinking about removing the fore grip on my Bionic Blade rod but wasn't sure how it would turn out since they have the ratcheting fore grip. I took the plung last night and it turned out to be pretty easy and straight forward.

    This is whats underneath the cork:

    this is the reel seet:

    after cutting it down to size:

    and the finished product:

    wasn't hard at all to do. let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

    after reading this thread, i decided to do this to an old Bass Pro rod i had laying around, turned out pretty nice, I'll post pics later. I went to Lowe's and picked up a heat gun for $24 to loosen up the epoxy from the grips, it worked great. After heating, the epoxy came right off and I was able to smooth it out using some fine sandpaper.

  17. NEW TD Pro - BPS Exclusive

    I played with one the other day while i was there, they are smooth and feel good, but i think the Tierra is a little smoother and feels like its built with higher tolerance for the same price. Dont get me wrong the Pro feels great for the price, i dont think you can go wrong with it.
