Shimano Beastmaster Grips

I did a search here for Shimano Beastmaster grips looking for info on the flat, rubber foregrip. I got a few hits which made for some interesting reading.

A few people mentioned they were going to try to make something simialr. So now I'm wondering if anyone has in fact tried to reproduce the grip or find something similar which is commercially available?

Anyone care to share their experiences?

Thanks

You can do this on a benchtop belt sander with relative ease. Do be careful around any power tool of course, but it's not hard to do. Finding suitable material might be your biggest problem - that was pretty heavy rubber material they used. Of course, you could do it with a block of EVA or Hypalon if you wanted.

Have you checked out the triangle foregrips? Very comfy when fighting fish. Ed
