I got mine from Bob Mc at Custom Tackle. All I can say is WOW! I have done 8-9 sets of grips in the two weeks since they arrived and they are SO NICE to have. These should have been invented before the wheel! LOL

I bought a couple grit coated reamers a while back (not sure of the brand) but they were too big in diameter for the lighter blanks that I build on so I made my own. Here's how:

I bought a few rod tip sections from my local components store ($2.50 each) and a bag of 30-60 grit "Black Diamond" sand blasting grit ($6.95 for 50 lbs, the smallest bag available) from the local Northern Tools store. I mixed up a batch of "2-ton" epoxy ($2.49 at Ace hardware) and made 5 different sized reamers, one at a time by mixing a small batch of this fast setting epoxy, coating a rod, rolling it in the grit, making sure to completely and uniformly coat the rod. After the coating step, I rolled the coated rods on a hard surface to make sure the girt was firmly pressed into the epoxy. Next day I had a selection of very effective reamers for everything from ultralight spinning blanks to heavy weight Musky rods. I do not put handles on the butt ends of the reamers since it is sometimes necessary to pull it all the way through the handle / bushing to change the taper of the hole.

Again, I have nothing but good things to say about the sponsors I have purchased from but I just enjoy making my own stuff when I can.

Skip,Only problem with the Black beauty grit is that when pieces dislodge and get caught in the grip you will scratch the blank while fitting the grip.The reamers use a sticky back sand paper that tends not to loose grit.

Chris:
Look at Netcraft 2007 catalog page #61 top right. I don't know if these are the same reamers that you want. Set of four with universal handle is $78.95 and individuals are available for $24.95. They look great to me!!
