Designed to fit perfectly into the thread end of size 16 and 17 barrel reel seats, each winding check looks equally as amazing when paired with Fuji’s SK2, CRB CXO or SXO, and Pacific Bay Minima seats!

Hi - for a matte type finish, you may want to consider one of Seymo's products found here: When it comes to finishes and the final look - opinions vary, some like it - some don't. So before using it on a project, you might want to get some scrap/practice blank segments and try it there first to be sure it is the look you are going for. Hope this helps - thanks.

Hey all - just a few notes on installing the longer Winn grips. Agree with the rest - ream them so you can just dry fit into place. One thing to avoid is forcing them down the blank. If you try to force the longer Winn grips down the blank (like you may with traditional eva) you will run the risk of having the WinnDry Polymer (that is wrapped around an eva base) buckle. Meaning - some areas

Good Morning Guys, I sincerely apologize for the back orders. Unfortunately, Mud Hole, like any business relies on vendors to provide our inventory. We have no control over our vendors supply, when Fuji or any supplier runs out of a particular guide or part we cannot source it from another vendor as they are the sole source for that good. Plus, given that these goods are usually imported the
