10 inch cork handles?

A lot of my customers want bass rods with 10" cork rear grips. I like the double tendon. Last fall in noticed that they were harder to get. Many of the sources Mudhole etc. had a few 10" with a butt cap tendon. It does not seem to be getting any better this spring.

Question is, are 10" grips in demand or are builders seeing more 9" than 10". The 9" seems to be more common. I have rods, crankbait and worm/jig with 10" and have started moving more to 9" for myself.

What are you seeing?

I appreciate the sponsors letting me know they have the 10" grips. I have a source. I was really wanting to get a feel if the 9" is more popular than the 10"?
