EVA Split Grip
Posted by: Jay Burns (---.excelsior.edu)

Looking to put an EVA split grip design on my spinning rod. Will have an uplocking reel seat (most likely one of the FUJI Deluxe models - size 17), will not have a foregrip on the rod to add to the rods sensitivity. Looking for a good EVA rear grip (was hoping to locate a rear grip around 2" or shorter). Any suggestions on the rear and butt grip. Or this setup itself. Ordering the components this weekend.

Jay,

We sell a lot of these EVA split grip kiys --> [] but the front end is 3" rather than the 2" grip you've refered to. If you have a way to "spin" (as in a lathe) the grips to shape them, EVA is very easy to work with. You could take a 4" piece of straight EVA and craft the front and rear sections of a split grip pretty easily.

Jay,
For the front piece, you can use one of the butt pieces without the cap and trim the tenon. It's a little over 1.5" without the tenon. It is the piece on the left in Mark's link (shown with the cap). I use these all the time in cork and EVA when I want something smaller for a front piece.

Take Care,
Robert
