Lightest, highest quality on the market.

We waited to put these on the market, we did not just want another carbon fiber grip. We wanted the highest quality grip made and we think we have succeeded. They are noticeably lighter than the other carbon fiber grips on the market and we are also offering 25% off just to try them. [rodbuilderswarehouse.com]

Would these match up with an Alps MVT casting reel seat?

Hi Michael,

Not quite sure which spinning seat you were referring to? We carry 9 different models of spinning which have several hood/nut configurations, several of which are in sizes 16 and 17. If you have a specific seat in mind please let me know and we will be happy to get you that information.

Hi Arthur,
The OD is .04 mm bigger than perfect. I think I can live with that. I will consider one of the Seaguide seats, as well.
Thank you

I have weighed some reel seats I have on hand - maybe not the type or style you sell. Could you supply the weight of a couple of styles and sizes of your reel seats to help me make an informed purchase?

Sorry for any confusion I created. Just trying to make the point of how extremely light these GRIPS it had nothing to do with any SEAT weights at all. I was asked if a particular seat fit the grips that were the topic and I did not know but pointed out which seats fit and directed him to the drawing to fit others.

So to answer the questions, combined grips weight, rear grip and fighting butt, 20 grams and these include full length arbors pre-glued into grips. Rear grip was 11 grams with arbor, fighting but was 9 grams with arbor. Quickly weighed a variety of seats and the lightest SEAT was split seat at about 17.5 grams, most of SeaGuide seats weigh in about 25+- grams depending on seat and selected hood configuration with single, double,hidden, or double locking hidden. Sure hope that helps.
