We just finished our newest video called, "Makin' a Split Grip."

In this video, Roger Seiders, President of Flex Coat Co., walks you through the steps, tips and tricks of how we build a split grip. Its nice to have a power reamer and a cork lathe for working with cork rings. Cork is to fishing rod handles like leather is to cowboy boots. This style of custom grip is all about performance, but it does save you money on cork and, lets face it, it just looks good.
