I'm relatively new to rodmaking, but am gearing up for my first "big" project... Fetha Styx has a series of rods with a carbon fiber grip, shown here:

I'd like to work on something along these lines, and am curious how you all imagine this grip was built... I've only done cork handles, so this is a departure for me... I've seen two sets of information on carbon fiber handles, some with pre-fab carbon tubes, like these from Mudhole:

The other approach is more custom, using composite sleeving, then building up the urethane finish yourself.
The Fetha Styx rod looks like it was done with tubing, I'm guessing over a foam inner sleeve? Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions on doing a similar construction project would be much appreciated...
