Brian and Spencer,

I have seen these handles in mags but never used one on a rod. How do you find they compare with std fly rod handle design?

Regards

Mike O.

Many people love them. Others say that as the day wears on and they want to change the position of their hand, they can't do it and thus the handle becomes uncomfortable. It would seem to be a matter of personal preference.

According to some ergonomics people I've talked to lately (we're researching some of this for a future article in RodMaker) the standard Ritz grip is considered the best from an ergonomics standpoint. It allows you to shift your hand slightly as you feel the need, to rest some muscles and employ others.

Never forget that just as important as the shape, is the size of the grip.

Brian, Maniform grips are manufactured in England. You might want to try there as well as the States.

Mike, I used a maniform grip on the first rod that I ever built, an 8 wt. I really like it, but some really don't like it when they try it and others want to know how to get one.
Different strokes...

Hi,
You can get Maniform handles from David Norwich rods here in Scotland. I don't have an address but I'm sure that a Google search for david norwich will get you in and then just look under rod building components
