I'm going to be building a spinning setup using an MB-724 x-ray blank. I'll be using Tidal wave 20 guides. I'd like to order carbon fiber grips from northfork and would prefer to order the right product. I'll be using a deluxe graphite American tackle seat. I prefer a full rear grip. I think I'd like to try the carbon fiber grips. Could you all give me some suggestions for matching front rear and a cap? Thank you in advance. Re: rod build MB-724 x-ray...Help with grips

Do you really need a foregrip? If you prefer the no-foregrip look I'd just finish off the front of the seat with some sort of end cap plug. PacBay used to offer these and I'm sure that one of the sponsors here either has those or offers their own variety. Bore a hole to match the blank OD at that area and run the plug down the blank and push it into the front of the seat. Very clean look.

How long of a handle do you want? The NFCG021C02 is 9” long and the NFCG022C01 is 12” long and both have a tenon for a butt cap. I’m sure the EVA butt cap sold by NFC will fit. If you want a fore grip, there are several options to choose from depending on the length you want. NFCG003C01 is 1.5” long, NFCG004C01 is 2”, and NFCG005C01 is 3”. There are other fore grips both longer and shorter, just depends on what you want. I’m not a big fan of pipe type of spinning reel seats, and really like the Fuji VSS17 reel seat or the IPS reel seat, both are very comfortable. The NFCG609C01 and NFCG610C01 both fit the VSS17. The first is 10” long with about 8” behind the end of the seat, and the other is 12” with about 10” behind the seat. The VSS17 gives you the option of using a hidden thread hood such as KSKSS17, which will fit either the NFCG646C01 (1”) or NFCG64C01 (2”) hood sleeves, if you want to use one.

Thank you...I'll give that some thought. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
