I'm going to put my first set of Winn grip on my 7' rod . I'm looking for a few suggestions on how to install the bottom grip it is 10 " with a rounded but need to figure out the best way to install it on the blank . Thanks Edited 1 time(s).

If you mean that you need to bore it out to fit your rod butt, do an internet search for flexcoat pilot bit. I am sure that many of the sponsors on the left carry the bit. Unfortunately we do not yet. Joe Moriarity Director Of Operations Custom Fly Grips LLC [www.customflygrips.com] [www.facebook.com] joe@customflygrips.com Re: Winn grip install

I have just built my fourth rod and, for ease, have used Winn grips on all - 2 x split grip and 2 x full grip. I have simply used epoxy but with Tourstar grips you can use double sided tape in the same way that golfers replace their club handles - I assume (but not sure) that you could use same process for Winn?

TourStar grips were made, I believe, by Winn.

I would not trust dubble sided tape If it gets wet the grip may loosen up Bill - willierods.com Re: Winn grip install

Had a seminar done at the michigan rod builders gathering in April and they actually recommend the double sided tape Re: Winn grip install

I don't understand that but hay I would think rod bond just like any grip would be better with a rod that could and does get wet Bill - willierods.com Re: Winn grip install

when you put on grips make it permanent [ any grip ] ,no tape to hold it, can dry out or soften up by water or bug spray oil what ever, even sweet getting in there , unless it is just for show only then who cares , show only , not for work [ fishing ] what I think William Sidney AK Re: Winn grip install

Bill, on golf clubs the tape is spiraled on the shaft and then a solution such as that made for the purpose is squirted on the taped area and the grip is just slid onto the shaft. The grips don't come off even when soaking wet. Golf grips get a lot tougher workout than fishing rods. Once the golf grips are on, the only way to get them off is to cut them off. Even after cut, they have to be peeled away from the shaft. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/24/2015 01:24PM by Randolph Ruwe. Re: Winn grip install

I worked in a custom golf club shop in the 60s we used two sided tape then and they still do.
ever here of a golf club flying out of its grip lol but they have come loose . easy fix, sceringe with assatone injected under the grip, loosens the glue and slides off. clean shaft retape slid on grip, or even a different one. Great thing about this grip, such little effort to change out, 10 min. Curt Re: Winn grip install

I've done quite a few with the double stick tape and never had one fail. My EVA fits fairly tight and I would worry more about the EVA pushing the epoxy off the blank causing a bond failure. The tape is there and holds well, if epoxy was a superior bond I would think that golf clubs would do it that way instead of tape, as they see much more abuse than a fishing rod will.
Bill you just have to keep telling yourself that change is bad, and it will be. Re: Winn grip install

Maybe they use tape cause it is quicker --- They can make more clubs -- and more mula
You can also ream out your eva more and this way it will not push the glue off the blank ??? Bill - willierods.com Re: Winn grip install

Maybe because it's better, you should try a technique before you condemn it. Bill, you can do anything any way you want to, but the board is here to educate and expand techniques. You seem to speak as though your way is the best and there is not any other way to do it, before you condemn a process you should try the alternative. Tour Star recommends tape and they have a great video showing the process [www.tourstarproducts.com] . Again if you don't want to tape the grip on, more power to you; but don't tell others they can't because of your bias. Re: Winn grip install

Is the tape - WaterProof
Are you going to use the tape for the grips -- What about the seats -- Seat arbors ??? Saltwater seats and arbors Bill - willierods.com Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 05/29/2015 07:50PM by bill boettcher. Re: Winn grip install

1)Yes
2)Yes, if you are using EVA for the reel seat, No if your using wood, poly or acrylic as they won't stretch over the tape. Again, you should try it before you knock it. I can see that your mind is closed so to quote Mark Twain: “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” Re: Winn grip install

Why
Rod Bond is waterproof and I can use it for my seats - and grips - and arbors Why should I have another product and have 2 for a rod - When 1 will work Less things in my supply closet -less to buy - The Kiss methoud -- It makes no sense You use what you want and have ALL the products for so many different things I will stay with Rod Bond -- If that is OK with all of you Bill - willierods.com Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
