Has anyone built or had a customer ask for a EVA grip on a saltwater fly rod? I don't think I have ever seen one.

Solana,

No reason, I was thinking about an up coming fly rod project for a guide. I realized I could not remember seeing an EVA fly rod grip. I figured I must be missing somthing?

I have seen plenty of them. The main thing is that if you use one you want it to be a really very firm foam type grip and not a soft spongy one. Those will cramp the hand very quickly.

William,

That's good to know. I might try doing an EVA grip on a saltwater flyrod. Thanks

SaltWater "damages" EVA gum very fast. Just a warning. All i´ve seen were on FreshWater Rods.-
Hope this Helps making your choice.-
