rear grip on casting rod?

Guys I'm looking for rear cork grips like the ones that are on the avid series from St. Croix they fit a standard 1" real seat but they are 1.25" O.D. and then in about 3" tapper down to a standard diameter. Basically a hump grip for lack of better terms some of Bass Pro Shops rods have something similar. I was wonder where I can find the grips? In the 9-10" length range.

Thanks

For the satisfaction of building your own grips...not to mention providing your customers with a better quality grip with no filler. The preformed grips serve a purpose...I used them on my first few builds and then graduated to shaping split grips by hand with a file and sandpaper. Just remember that the preformed grips contain filler just like factory rods..in a few years you will have pits and voids. But, they are easy and nice way to get learning.
