Thanks for all the replies. Poker chips sound like a really inventive idea that would really make the grip pop. I will have to look into TruOil. Thanks for the techniques. -John Mc

Roger, Thanks for the reply. Do you have a recommended thickness for the spacers? I have some 2 mm EVA foam I use for fly tying I was planning on using. Thanks again. -John Mc

Hi everyone, I am fairly new to rod making (just over 2 years), and I am looking to make some grips for a few builds I am working on. I have made all cork grips in the past and shaped them on a lathe. The question is, I want to add some color to a cork grip I am working on and I was wondering what sort of material to use for this accent? I am assuming EVA foam would be where to start,

Hi everyone, I am planning on making my buddy a 3 or 4 wt Euro nymphing rig for his wedding. I would prefer to spend under $250 for the blank if possible, and I have had a hard time finding blanks to suit my needs in the lengths I am looking at (10-11 feet). Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am open for ideas on how to proceed so I can begin this build. Thank you. -John Mc
