Hi All,
Where can I buy materials to build my own carbon grips? is it still Riely Rods? I have been off the site for about a year now so I am not up to speed with all the sponsors. Thanks for the help! Chris Re: Carbon Grip Kits

Solar Composites is an option if you are unable to get ahold of Mike at Riley.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the info. I just checked them out. Do they have the foam cores? Thanks Re: Carbon Grip Kits

I think they sell the foam, as well as United Composites who also sells it.
Pacific Bay sells pre-shaped foam cores, and perhaps a few other sponsors may have those or similar now. ............. Re: Carbon Grip Kits

Hi Don,
I am only a hobby builder so l just got distracted with my kids and life! I have 4 rods I am about to start so I am back again for now. I have to build 2 casting and 2 spinning rods. 3 of them are for friends and 1 for me! I am sure I will have questions as its been a while since my last build. BTW I f you recall you helped me with my first ever build about 4 years ago now. The rod is still going strong. Except the epoxy has yellowed on the white blank. I my rewrap it this year. Thank You, Chris Tulk Re: Carbon Grip Kits

Chris,
Welcome back. I know about life getting in the way of rod building. Fortunately, (since my kids are all grown and raising their own), I now have all the time I need to build rods....just not the funds! Don Don Campbell don@sensorfishingrods.com Re: Carbon Grip Kits

NO Joy at all from Riely Rods, I can no longer recommend them, I did get my last back ordered item from him, It only took a year, Looks like he even shut down the web site. Jaa Re: Carbon Grip Kits

Hi Jay
I had been seeing a lot of posts similar to yours so that why I was asking about other options. I did want to buy a kit to make the cores at home though. Does anyone know if Reily Rods is in business? Thank You, Chris Tulk Re: Carbon Grip Kits

Chris,
I imagine Mike Riley's guiding business has generated a better return on his time investment than his carbon fiber grip business. I hate to see our industry lose his contribution, as he did a beautiful job on his carbon fiber grips. I had him build me one for an Rainshadow Eternity 2 a year or so ago and it fit the reel seat perfectly, 'was absolutely beautiful and best of all my customer loved it.

Hi!
I was wondering if any of you knows where I could get a carbon grip fitting the Fuji VSS? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
