This question is directed at those that have been flocking their grips for a few years.
I've been using a couple of my own rods for two years with no problems but can anyone comment on how they've held up after 5+ years of normal use or even hard usage? Any flaking or areas where perhaps the flocking has rubbed thin? Thanks, Chad Huderle Huderle Custom Rods Prior Lake, MN Re: Flocking

The flocked surface has wear characteristics just like everyting else - use them an they will wear thin. Heavy use guide service can wear most off in a year of fishing. I have only two that are five years old and been in moderately heavy use. The flocked surface is very thin - not failed but thin. I can see no cork exposed and the color is still consistant wine. I fI was bugged about how they looked or felt I would have no hesitance to reapply fresh flock - just not my priority. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
