ok, i was plan to make some of order very soon as i get replies from you guys..

first things i was plan to order a MHX DS822-BLEND the butt ID .543 so i wonder if MHDPS special insert cork will fit cos it has 16mm reel seat i wonder will it be ok to fit ?
next question, i have been looking for a straight taper 8" rear handle with RVB-1 cap for MHX S781-MHX the butt ID .295 and want to order a MHDPS speical insert cork 16mm reel seat but only i can find rear handle with .340 and .375 but would like to find that might have a ID .250 so i can reamer it to get it fit to .295 and a 2" foregrip with a least .200 ID
my father want me to build him a nice 6 1/2 ft ultra light crappie rod so he want me build him a nice handle with insert cork..
any suggest on this question would be help..
Josh

PS. if anyone who work at mudhole tabkle would be happy to give me a better suggest ...

Josh -- The reel seat that you mention is .500 inside. In order to use the grip that you mention, you will have to build up the blank with a couple of Pac Bay FA 12 full arbors, install them on the blank and then ream the cork a bit more to slide over the arbors and glue in place. The inside of the Pac Bay FA12 is .250 and the outside is .430. You can keep the set-up light by going this way. You could also use the fiberglass mesh tape and make arbors between the grip and blank to take up that space.
