help - looking for smaller foregrips
Posted by: Marc Morrone (---.wi.res.rr.com)

I usually turn my own grips from rings, but sometimes have customers that don't want to pay for that. When building spinning rods with 16 mm seats, most pre-formed foregrips (1" diameter) are way too big in front of the seat. Does anyone know where some smaller diameter fore grips can be had?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Marc

I think the 2 inch Angler's Workshop foregrips are smaller than .9 inches, used them alot on steelhead and bass rods rods.

The St Croix handle kits are a good choice and appropriately sized. You can view them on the St Croix site and Custom Tackle carries them, usually in stock.

If you have a drill, and have some kind of mandril you can put the foregrip on the mandril on the drill run some 40 grit sandpaper over it then maybe some 220 grit. Easy and fast. No turner needed. Fast and easy.
