Spey grip

Hello,

I found every components for a Loop 14" line 9, except the grip. Everyone I found actually have a very smal ID (my blank OD : 0,6"). So I've got 2 questions, is it possible to increase the ID from 0,4" to 0,6" on the fore grip (14" long)?
and if I have to create my own grip, may I buy the lower grip with the buttcap, and only create the big one, and how should I proceed?

Oopps, I've got another question, is there a book or a video which axplain this?

I'm sorry my english is so bad.

Thank's

Hook and Hackle , REC, Batson(probably) have spey handles. You can buy razor wands at the Mud Hole to increase the inside diameter of your cork. There is lots of info under search. Look in library for how to build your own reamers.

A reamer will fix your problem, but remember when taking your ID measurments, measure where the grip will actually end which in your case will be around 25 inches from the blanks butt end. 5" for the butt grip, about 5" for the reelseat, and than your 14 inch foregrip.

Thank's a lot,

I did'nt know that a special tool exist. Isn't it difficult to do this with a long grip (14")?

For Spencer Phipps, I took the ID in the right place (butt end, reel seat place, and top of the grip), but there is e few difference between the butt end, and the low part of the 14" grip.
