Duce Rods Back in Business
 

So the website is up and they have a lot of rods to choose from, various warranty options and the rods/funds to back them up. The rods have also changed a good bit in look and have higher quality components.

The website seems to cover All aspects of the rod from butt to tip.

Hope they do well, because their rods are light weight and strong; plus its a Louisiana Company using products all made in AMERICA!

Think they will warranty my old twisted duce that snapped on me last week?

Damn cork handles. I just can't get used to them

They have recently with some other SC guys. They have some old models from an order that was held for payment. If they have that particular rod, I know they will work with you.

I bought one last year right before they went south. Then it broke and I had no one to contact. Hopefully they will work with me on it. Tried calling and just got the machine

I'm in the same boat with u. So I just put it to the side and bought a calc. extreme rod from June if and never looked back.

Yeh I wish they were still foam grips. I can't even fish with cork anymore.

Loved my old Duce before it snapped at tip on me last week. I hope I can't get another like it.

It's funny y'all prefer the foam handle, to each his own. I recently exchanged a couple broken Shimano Rods and the new models have foam and I was a little bummed. I like the foam when it's dry but I find when it gets a little fish slime it's super slippery.

I like cork

Buncha cork soakers...

Tell me the Cumara hasn't gone cork!

The Cumara is still foam, and now red. I hope it will get some action this weekend. I love my Cumara, prob fav rod they make.

Yep, I have 2 of the red ones

OCR in Lafayette builds these rods with golf club grips on them. They are the shizz. Cast Away makes a new rod with them too. Called an Invicta.

I hate those grips 100% if you're talking about the same thing. Someone built me a rod with those grips and it has no sensitivity, they are mushy and heavy. Good grip for soaking on bottom for catfish or reds though.

Yeh that's what I use a $210 rod for. Soaking cut mullet for gafftops.

Not surprising after pumping up a baseball bat for trout fishing

Lol I've caught more big trout on my "baseball bats" than you have "seen".


"Mako give it up dude.....it is over....it was Jackson st.....accept that we choked and move on."

To me, a foam handle rod is like a V6 corvette, looks good, but the performance isn't there.

I hear ya. To each his own. I started fishing with them about 3-4 years ago and really like them. They are just more comfortable in my hand. Cork is just too hard to me. Never had a problem with handles being "slippery". IMO, I would think cork would be just as slippery as foam when covered in trout slime. But hey, what would I know. I just fish for gafftops and reds.

Good foam grip rod I used this weekend that would make a really nice corky/plastic rod for a good price. Waterloo Phantom It's $110 at Academy.

hahaah perfect

Croaker soakin

Every time someone states an opinion aside from yours you cry like a little Stay at Home Son.

Never soaked a croaker on BL in my life. Tops and Corky's are all I fish. It's all good dude. Keep fishing your cork rods and I'll keep fishin foam. I'm not trying to argue with you.


"Mako give it up dude.....it is over....it was Jackson st.....accept that we choked and move on."

So is Duce under new management or same guys?

@croakersoaker

I fish Eva grips, my opinion was toward the golf club grip you mentioned - see below.

Difference between you and me (aside from me not looking for a reason to cry) is that I have no problem admitting a $210 mistake, I feel no need to justify junk by recommending it to everyone just because it's a cool idea... Those handles are thicker than golf grips.




To the topic... I will be buying a new duce to try them out, sans golf grips.

Lol what a loser. Why not just keep your mouth shut. I LOVE my rod from OCR and the grips as well. And will be buying more of them in the near future. I'm pretty sure the guy that MADE this thread pumping Duce even has a few of them as well.
Thanks for trying to make me look stupid though. And whenever you wanna put some money on the line so I can beat the PISS out of you in a little trout tourney just let me know. I will make sure to fish EXCLUSIVELY with my golf club to make sure you have a good chance since it's such a POS.


"Mako give it up dude.....it is over....it was Jackson st.....accept that we choked and move on."

As long as Salty cajun doesnt become tOfficial Duce Twitter page again its all good. #GTFOwithdat

Lmao

Let's measure ******s

I wonder if they would put a FATSO grip on the rod like my putter in golf? :D

Maybe go with the full chord like the ole days...

Duce is under new mgmt not the same dudes, the original dudes still have a small share but my boy Cade runs the show now. Top knotch rods and service. They are some of the lightest and toughest rods that I have ever used......oh forgot to mention the sensitivity is crazy awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the new look is also very astheticly pleasing. I would recomend this rod to anyone looking for lightweight sensitivity and durability in one good looking package :-)

Good luck to the new guys at Deuce Rods. If I wasn't a Waterloo pro-staffer, I'd definitely try one. They sound a lot like the rods I use now.

I prefer cork also but own a few of both and i do not see how foam hinders performance of a rod in any way.

Btw that grip looks nothing like what I have. This one is half as thick as one in your video. It is a Tour Star split grip.

"Mako give it up dude.....it is over....it was Jackson st.....accept that we choked and move on."

To be honest, and really not trying to be an a-hole here, is anyone really surprised that Duce went under in the first place? Seemed like they had alot of waste.

When are rod builders and companies going to learn to trim off the useless excess threads on the reelseats of rods with no foregrip? To me, it is hideous to tighten your reel down and have an inch or so of bare threads sticking out.

i kinda am surprised because the rod worked great and they were selling a lot. but at the same time if you dont run it right youll sink

my omen black has it trimmed away.

I agree

Yes the new guy emailed me and is making my uncles rod warrent's good.he was real nice and said he wants to get everyone that was put out and no one was able to get in touch with Matt he said he will do his best I'll ask him if I can post his email for y'all to contact

Looks like I better not take my cork handle golf clubs out anymore.

You should jump in with him. Y'all can both wear UL "Mission No-Maha" gear. Then I can take both y'all money.
So cute.... you come on here and catch your buddy's back. Stay in the sports bar. You don't have anything to contribute on this end.


"Mako give it up dude.....it is over....it was Jackson st.....accept that we choked and move on."

[quote=specktator;700117]
No I just think it childish and cheesy for a fish off challenge...

And besides showing everyone in the open forum now how much of a big titty baby you are.....I see you contributed nothing to this thread either...lol....



But I do agree with you, I rather foam than cork for rod handles.

[quote=all star rod;700119]
You are the KING of childish and cheesy. Don't see where I acted like a titty baby just see where someone tried to shove his opinion of rod grips down everyone's throat just cause he didn't agree with what I use. I tried to leave it alone but of course, just like his BF Rene, he had to fire back again. Just told him to put his money where his mouth is. And it seemed like the "fish off challenge" shut him up. :)





"Mako give it up dude.....it is over....it was Jackson st.....accept that we choked and move on."

fish offs usually do shut ppl up pretty quick. And they actually rarely take place.
