Can anyone tell me who can supply me with aaaa grade premade cork spinning rod handles.It seems there are alot of quality fly rod handles but no spinning rod handles they are either low grade or use fillers. Thanks Sam

St Croix handle kits are very nice quality for the $$$.

Check Anglers Workshop. Their pre-formed grips and set ups are of excellent quality and their service excellent. Bob

Hi Sam,

I believe real first class handles are not available in a readymade configuration. Neither for Flyrods nor for spinning rods. Invest the extra time and turn your own handle. Experiences I made with preformed handles let me come to this conclusion.

Rgds,

Ole

I've tried a Fuji kit, a St. Croix kit, and one from a non-sponsor that I believe to be a Pac Bay. I won't use any of them again. I may have had a bad one or two but they were all full of brown spackling compound to fill voids.

I like you have been less than satisfied with the production cork handle kits. I like the look of the burl cork and use that for turning in most of my handles. The one draw back is that the burl is heavier than regular cork, if your looking for something special you will probably have to turn it yourself or have a one of a kind done for you. MB

I have made my own in the past and they are very nice but i am only making a few rods a year. If you dont buy the cork rings in bulk it is very expensive i no there are plenty quality fly rod cork handles i just dont understand why there are no spinning handles.

As was stated earlier in this thread - Angler's Workshop turns quality spin grips.

Thanks for the info i have ordered one from anglers workshop.
