anders Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) As the title suggests, im looking for a pink downrigger rod! I have been looking around and can not find anything. I know it may be a stretch but im just curious if anyone out there has seen one or would know of where to get one. Thanks Edited March 29, 2016 by anders
Old Ironmaker Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 Buy a spray can of paint. Acrylic latex actually and prime it first.
Dara Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Canadian Tire has other types of pink rods, St Croix has pink rods, Pearl 7' medium fast. Not quite but you should be able to get something. Edited March 29, 2016 by Dara
anders Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Posted March 29, 2016 I know I can get rods generally used for other types of fishing. I know I can spray paint as well but would rather purchase one that is already pink. My daughter wants her own downrigger road, and we can settle on pink, just no princesses on it.
Dara Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) I will keep an eye out at CT in the Sault...not really a thing that is heavily advertised...lots of stuff showing up in Pink lately Edited March 29, 2016 by Dara
Sterling Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 If it's that important maybe contact the manufacturers directly? Afaik ugly stik can do it, they charge $70 plus your man card
anders Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Posted March 29, 2016 lol.....hey if my little girl wants to come fish with me and have her own pink downrigger card, you can consider my man card turned in!!
Dara Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 lol.....hey if my little girl wants to come fish with me and have her own pink downrigger card, you can consider my man card turned in!! My Daughter is getting a pink 30-06..no biggy
davey buoy Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 lol.....hey if my little girl wants to come fish with me and have her own pink downrigger card, you can consider my man card turned in!! I would do the same!!!,no girls for me. I understand totally !!
dave524 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 According to Lorne Green, some oldtimers will recognize the name, the Fenwick Riggersticks of the 80's and quite well thought of as a downrigger rod were simply Fenwick 9 foot 10 weight fibreglass fly rod blanks built as a downrigger rod. I built lots of them for myself and friends back then. If you could find a 10 weight flyrod blank in pink maybe you could have it built as a riggerstick, just a thought. If you go to mudhole.com you can search for pink blanks but I see nothing that I would recommend as a riggerstick.
Old Ironmaker Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 Bubba Watson hits his driver 400 yards. It is pink too. His "Man" card and manhood is firmly intact. I have a few salmon coloured shirts and sweaters, some might say they are pink, so what. Colour has nothing to do with femininity. I really don't think you are going to find a pink downrigger rod though. I have never seen one after long lining and downrigging for 35 years. Save yourself the headache and gas money and paint one pink.

Gnote Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 A guy on the lou board runs pink rigger rods with his wife on lake o ill see if i can find out what they are, he is in the states though so not sure if available here.
Bill Shearer Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 Dave 524 has it nailed! I used 9wt Fenwick 9'ers, and they were very forgiving of inexperienced anglers. The key factors to look for in the blank are slow action, full bend, and inexpensive. No need for quick response that would be nice if using for casting.
bare foot wader Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 tape off any rod you want to use, and it with a couple light coats of pink krylon
anders Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Posted March 30, 2016 WKRP.....if you are serious....PM maybe? Gallie....that would be great...thanks FloatnFly...thanks for the links I forgot about fishergirl Thanks for all the input guys
Sterling Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 WKRP.....if you are serious....PM maybe? Gallie....that would be great...thanks FloatnFly...thanks for the links I forgot about fishergirl Thanks for all the input guys I believe wkrp was making a well-concealed joke.
anders Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Posted March 30, 2016 yea I figured....but hey...always a chance right!
Gnote Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 He uses pink teflon tape on his rigger rods, so theres an idea i guess lol. Good luck
Gregoire Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 Tackle industries made a pink musky rod for a while. Might be a bit stiff for rigging, but could work. Not sure if they make it anymore.
