i posted the question up in a recent post but just to make it seperate Im looking for anyone that makes foam core grips for a small job - and when i say small all it will be is a foam core fly grip and small fighting butt. So if you can help me out that would be greatly appreciated, just send me an email at benh@wadeconsult.com, also im located in australia but this is open to anyone, just add what you think shipping would be onto your costs from your country! thanks

All of Lamar's distributors have solid foam cores in stock.
Bingham Enterpises & Fishsticks4U are 2 off the top of
my head.

The "skins" still need to be ordered from the Mfgr though but you
could always flock or marble the cores .

Sorry Ray, he lives in Aussie Land, great place to visit.

For Lamar products in Australia The RodWorks in Australia 08 8395 0755. Maybe they can help with the rest of it.

thanks for the links ray, but being a personal novice rod builder i'd just like to try these first before i outlay for expernsive epoxy and carbon, that and id probably stuff first go so id much rather put money into someone elses pocket and get a good grip made up fully first of if possible!

Ah, I follow now. Your looking for a completed grip to buy not
just the foam cores already poured. My bad..

You might want to post on the "Buy/Sell" section as it will be
on front page for a much longer time than the forum and
many more will see it more often.

That is if Mike or someone else hasnt already contacted you.

Good Luck there Ben
