Pistol grips question

Hello again chaps
Can any body direct me to a website, pictures or offer advice on the best way to ergonimically customise/make the rear part of a short 'pisto'l grip style handle? For example is the 'classic' pistol shape better than a 'hump/bulge' shape if you know what I mean? Is it just trial and error or are there any guidlines around? Would making a plasticene/modelling clay template be a good way to go before I start chopping up whtever I decide to use for the final item? I know these seem to be somewhat out of fashion these days but it is exactly right for the rod I'm building. For info I'm building a single handed, acid wrapped 1/8-1/4 oz baitcaster around 6' in length - the reel is a Shimano Scorpion 1001 if that helps any. Any help appreciated thanks and regards Jeremy Re: Pistol grips question

You might want to look at purchasing a handle kit from St Croix for their pistal grip. I have not been able to find just the rear portion of that kit, but for one of my customers, I have used 2 of these to convert rods and he loves them. The St Croix handle is much wider than other pistol grips I have seen and he likes it because it doesn't take much to keep the handle in his hand while casting. Re: Pistol grips question

The last 2 pistol grips I got from St Croix were not the wide bottom type. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
