EVA X-Cut Grips

Big Swimbait
in Rod Building and Custom Rods

Featured Replies

I about to start on my first swimbait rod and I have always wanted to try the EVA X-Cut Grips. I ordered one from Mudhole without really looking at the specs. This thing is almost 1.5" in diameter compared to other grips which were pretty close to 1". Any tips on trimming/sanding this beast down to a more user friendly diameter would be appreciated.

    EVA sands easily with the proper tools.  A steel mandrel to mount it on, a lathe to turn it and sandpaper.  Problem with sanding that type of grip is you lose the grooves that are cut into it

    Thanks for the response. I may just have to save that one for a salt-water build.
