Camo Split grips

I am looking for some green camo split grips. Mud Hole sells a split grip camo kit, but the cork is not green camo. Mud Hole also has the parts for a regular handle, reel seat, and foregrip for green camo, but no green camo cork for a split grip. Any suggestions from the sponsors or elsewhere? Clinton

I don't think you are gonna find any camo cork. Cork will not take any dyes and hold up. At least IMO it just does not exist.

I think the best you will find is green dyed burl cork. The chunks of natural cork give it a camo look .

If and that is a big IF the colors are all into the handles - you can get a long handle and turn it on your lath and make your own split grip sections

MudHole sells both burl cork rings and burl cork blocks in green. The color is consistent through out because it's chopped up and reformed

If the rear handles are good - you can cut them and shape - A lot easer

Call mud hole and ask if they can be cut and shaped.
