Dense EVA grips

I've got 12 inch eva grips I got from a local shop that are super dense and feels very good quality. Not very compressible.
But I would like something a few inches longer since I'm building a vertical jigging rod. It just barely reaches my armpit. I know GetBit sells 16 inch eva, but I don't know the quality of it. I haven't checked other places. Any one know where to find really dense eva? My third option is building a split grip. But I didn't want to deal with winding checks and all that since I don't have the blank. Unless there's another idea of getting a few extra inches out of 12 inch grips. Re: Dense EVA grips

It's not required to used winding checks on a split grip. A simple JTOB or a single trim band and an epoxy ramp makes a fine transition from blank to grip and if done properly, can provide a bit of protection for the grip in the rodholder.
I use the space between the grips for more dec wraps or rod info or the owners name. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/18/2016 07:38PM by Danny Davis. Re: Dense EVA grips

You can also use contact cement to glue two grips end to end. A little light sanding and the joint should be hardly noticeable. Re: Dense EVA grips

So far the densest factory EVA grips I know of are made by Batson/Rainshadow. 14 inches long. Re: Dense EVA grips

Did you find the grip you wanted? On a long rear grip I put 2 together then used the flocked shrink tube over it. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
