Title: Grip Choices
Post by: Mark Gwynne on September 22, 2010, 06:13:26 PM

Hi all.
I'm looking for some fancy grips for my new custom rod. I liked what I saw on the mudhole website but would like to compare.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Mark.
I have to say that I personally prefer thicker hard foregrips on my popping and jigging rods. Stay away from the Mudhole grips unless you like a softer grip. Acid Rod, Batson and Matagi are the only sources I know for harder grip material. The great thing about custom rods is that you get what you want.

Thanks.
