That's really well done & sharp, especially the butt cap & behind the seat....what happens if it gets wet? Will SW dry it out? How heavy is it, and what did he instal it over?

Billy - Not sure about salt water and how it'd hold up. It's light, very light. Going to use balsa for the final prodcut so it'll be even lighter.
Randy - yepper, this is what we've come up with so far.

I just saw where you are from, I don't think you have to worry about SW, lol. Very nice grip, enjoy fishing it. Looks MUCH better than teh other Offshore Trolling LEather grips.
