Hey Trevor. These have preinstalled arbors in both ends therefore it is not recommended to trim these. We do have the adjustable full length handles that can be made to be 8" to 15" in length. See them here. On the sliding pictures, they will be on shots 10, 11, and 12.

Hello Mark, This is a layer of 3K material on the butt section of this blank. It goes approximately 33-35 inches up from the butt. The weave on the blank is a diagonal 3K weave pattern, gloss. The American Tackle G2 grips have a cross section 3K weave pattern, matte finish. Therefore, although they are both a 3K pattern, there is a difference.

Thank you Roger, so far the sales have been simply unbelievable, as we’ve already sold out of several models! We have a ton of new inventory on it’s way but we are suggesting that everyone interested place their orders now in case what they are looking for is one of the models sold out, which also gets them in line for backorder fulfillment.
