I like the colors of #5 and #6 from the left but am not a huge fan of the reel seats on those. They have a kind of gothic look from what I see. #6 and #7 from the right look great and that full carbon handle looks good. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/08/2023 04:03AM by Al purvis.

Personally I hate split grips, so that leaves only one to my liking. As for color - it takes all sorts ;-) Re: R&D on New Carbon fiber grip styles!

How about adding soft touch hood covers and fore grips? Re: R&D on New Carbon fiber grip styles!

I prefer the Edge Rod's personal designs better. Re: R&D on New Carbon fiber grip styles!

What material comprises the colored portions of these grips? Re: R&D on New Carbon fiber grip styles!

It looks like you have added some colors to the carbon fiber locking hood covers. If you could add color options to the KDPS16 NFCG623CO1 that would be appreciated.
Not shown but color options for full length handles would also be nice, even if limited colors Re: R&D on New Carbon fiber grip styles!

Historically, from grips I have made, it's dyed glass/carbon weave. Re: R&D on New Carbon fiber grip styles!

Spencer is basically correct although Soller Composites will color their CF / Aramid hybrid sleeving as well upon request. For all intents and purposes though, the colored woven sleeving is CF with colored FG. Mark Talmo FISHING IS NOT AN ESCAPE FROM LIFE BUT RATHER A DEEPER IMMERSION INTO IT!!!

I like the 7th from the right. What I would like if is possible is to have the butt section "ferruled" or removable so there is an option to have a shorter handle or a longer handle depending on the fishing conditions.
Have fun Re: R&D on New Carbon fiber grip styles!

Give us the edge reel seat! I love the one on my First Strike Kickstarter rod.
It really sinks the reel lower as the core is off center. Re: R&D on New Carbon fiber grip styles!

They all look okay, but I'm not a fan of the checkerboard look of most of the carbon fiber grips, but the ones that have more of a single-color look are the ones I'd use. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
