Ditto, I'll second that remark
Which is for which, and you make these?
Those are cool grips.

Those look great.
I love one piece rods, it is the only way to go so you dont lose action through the ferrule.
I hate fast action tips though.
Can you make one piece 7', medium light, moderate action with a casting handle?
What would the blank material be made from and how much would you charge?

[#800000][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]The dark cork gets the nod from me. Indifferent to the color of the rod itself. All my rods but one are black. Very nice workmanship. It's difficult to find that in stores these days.
How are you at making custom kokanee rods and what would be the cost?

I will be building new grips this weekend thanks for the input on the darker color grips I intend on making them one of my base colors but as you know cork is not on the cheap side esp, any a+ or better grades I will be looking at making other styles like casting and trollimg rods
