My next build will feature an adjustable full length G2 handle ;-)

Just out of curiosity, which reel seat is used in the Tsuka grip images that have been floating around since ICAST? It's a great looking seat.

I have been using the full handles. The carbon material is so light that I don’t need to split the grip to save any weight.

I like full handles too as rods are often in rod holders.

I prefer full handles but only by a small margin.

As a fisherman, I prefer fishing with a full handle due to the same reasons as above. I do like the rods I have with the split handle, but I am an old-timer and the full handle just looks and fishes better as it is what I are up fishing. It it saves weight, I'm sure I will be building some.
