Help, please. Anybody started selling these grips yet? I've seen the cork ones at some websites but I want EVA. And maybe somebody knows the tricks and tools to use to make one and wants to share some tips :-) Thanks.

Matagi have a decent range of shapes and sizes both EVA and cork for VSS16 and VSS17.

I wittled one by hand once but it took so long and still was not perfect. I just buy them now and have not looked back. You can by the full straight grip with the VSS contour at one end and shape you own custom fore or rear grip.

Anyone know of a supplier of Matagi (or any other company) EVA grips for the VSS reel seats here in the USA? I googled it and only got Japanese price lists in Yen. Or folks who wholesale/bulk sell.

I believe you can order direct from Matagi...[www.matagi.co.jp] this is their english site. I think Billy V has some experience with them...I would ask him.

Thanks. I thought that by now a manufacturer/dealer in North America would have started making and selling these grips. I guess I have to get it from Matagi then.
