Split grips

Featured Replies

I am looking for colored split grips for casting rod. Not trying to break the bank. 

Mudhole has some but they are not all complete sets

 

Anything thoughts? 

 

Where else do you guys buy split grips from? Thanks in advance!

As far as thoughts go, you may consider having one of the rod builders here that do handles make you a set.  There are all kinds of interesting cork to include colored ones.  No details of your project to see if weight is a major factor.  Jans has some good stuff http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/

If your trying for color and light weight, the Winn grips come to mind, (skinned eva), burl cork rings also work, but burl cork is 3 times heavier than standard cork, the colored foam skinned grips are fiberglass or a combo glass/graphite if they are two tone, the combos are a bit lighter than the cork, the glass about the same.

You can get some eva foam from Mudhole and shape it with sandpaper on your hand drill, it will be similar in weight to the Winn grip, slightly heavier than cork. For short split grips just slide the foam over a snug drill bit and go to town. For a clean cut, cut the foam slightly long any way you choose, install on the drill bit, turn it on high speed and final cut with braided line, or "D" size wrapping thread.

For color, function, style, and ease of building, hard to beat the Winn grips.  They do have "complete" sets at Mudhole and othere marketers of Winn.
