Does anybody sell ready made carbon fiber/foam core grips? Also what is the weight of this style grip relative to cork?

Not in stock form, although a former sponsor, Riley Rods used to make them upon request.

I've also seem them listed on one of the @#$%& sites from time to time.

I did get my "ready made" cores from Riley Rods and I beleive they sell completed grips as well.

Weight depends on the density of the core, the material used and how it's finished. Lots of info if you search past posts.

Glad to know they're okay, I have been completely unsuccessful in contacting them over the past 4 months.

I have not been able to get a hold them through the phone but e-mailing Vikki has worked for me. Just got done ordering some supplies and everything came through fine.

Email VIkki as Mike is a moving target, especially with the redfish tournaments he is fishing and his guide business. Great people.
