Custom carbon fiber fly rod grip?

I have a couple of unique custom black fiberglass fly rod blanks that I am considering making or purchasing carbon fiber grips for. I have seen a few examples of them in the archive photos in black/gray that I think would work out very well for what I have in mind. Could someone please direct me to a good link in how to make them and what materials I would need to make a 6" to 7" Full or reversed half wells grip. Thanks in advance!

Riley Rods is your one stop shop for carbon fiber grips. They also have a great youtube video that will walk you through all the steps. [www.youtube.com]

The process was detailed in the Volume 10 #6 issue of RodMaker. This is where Riley Rods learned to make them. Try his video and and if that's not enough you can fall back on the magazine article.

Or, Mike can easily supply you with one.

I'm sure I can help you out Peter. Whether you want to make them yourself or have me make them for you.
