Angler's Roost almost surely has them. I'm sure there are many others as well. Hopefully some spey rod builders will chime in with their favorites.

Those blanks were developed with the help of R.B. Meiser, he can help with grips, guides, recommended lines, etc. Re: Cork grips & guides for Spey Rod

Meiser is an great resorce. I almost always use (on 12-13ft rods) a 16,12,10 stripper or 16,12 with a 6 snake before dropping to (1) 5, 4s up to an xl tip top. I use a skagit setup with all loop to loop so I need a little larger guides, not to mentino the ice in the winter. I will almost always use all metel boat guides (non braced) for strippers or sometimes REC recoil. I have found that it makes no difference for shooting line and I will never have a ceramic ring break and ruin a trip.
Hope this was of some help. If you need some grip advice for that rod look to a 13.5" upper and a comfetable lower (5.5 in or so) will work. Good luck, Eric Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
