Cork grip? I grab with a set of pliers with teeth around the grip {don't squeeze down to hard}, Rock it back a forth and around, The cork will crumble off from the teeth on the pliers , work on small sections at a time, Once the bulk is off pick and scrape off what's left It worked for me. I try to stay away from knifes for my own safety. Jaa

Andrew are you sure you want a full carbon grip? I tried one and recently cut it off and put cork with some burnt rings back on, Because it was either cold or hot from the sun, And just plain to hard on my hand all day. With some of these new spinning reel seats with the blank cut out windows I get all the sensitivity I could want. If you do try one I would order one made up from Riley rods He

Mine were Not the St. Croix Legend Extreme LXC711HMF but the straight tube type mud-hole sells. I removed and replaced 2 of them with a built up cork Tennessee grip, Like your client, I found them to cold in the Fall and hot in the summer, Also larger dia than I liked. I used a sawzall with a metal cutting blade to remove a 1/2"-3/4" wide section on each side of grip, {top to botto

Team colors on a wraps, Then burn the N logo in the cork handle lightly with a fine tip wood burner, either on the front top or sides of grip. That would be pretty cool??? Jaa

Well that old site needed an upgrade, It was to slow at peak times. But I have to agree I think they could have make it more user friendly. I'm sure it will take weeks to get it fully tweaked, I'll hold my thoughts until then. I wish a few of these vendors would upgrade their sites. Bingham Enterprises would get my business if they had a better site. I just don't have the time to call or e-mail
