I am looking for someone who can make custom sized grips to the specs I would supply. I dont have a lathe to be able to turn my own and cant find any stock items that fit what I am looking for. These would be small one or two piece orders in eva and cork. Thank you, Tony

Thanks for the replies. I was originally going to use all KT's for the running train, based on the suggestions I have ordered some KB's. Thank you, Tony

I followed the guide layout as calculated on the Anglers Resource site. The recommendation was for four #5 guides after the choke guide, but they dont give distance measurements like they do for the reduction train.

Just to clarify a few questions and comments; The blank was not advertised as a "Blem" or "Second". Retail price of the blank is $250.00, based on that I would put it in the premium category by a premium manufacturer. I did not pay the retail price, the manufacturer had ALL of their blanks on sale.

I recently purchased two blanks direct from a manufacturer. I did a quick inspection of both blanks when they arrived. One blank was perfect, but the other blank has a few areas that concern me. The blank has areas where a clear plastic film is trapped between the carbon wraps. It also has multiple areas where there are fibers (thread or carbon?) on the surface of the blank. The fibers appear to
