Pre-turned cork grips for rod building

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

I just bought a "ton" of pre-turned cork grips at a super price.

These are normally around $10-$12 each.

We have them now for $5.00 each or 5 for $20.00.

We have them in a box at the shop.

Sounds like a great deal Bill. I will be in this week and get some. I need a new reel as well.

Well, I swung by Kiene's on my way somewhere else to check out these grips and was pleasantly surprised to find a box full of 6 1/2" grips. Mostly modified wells (western) and some reverse half wells with utra fine front tapers, both of which will take uplocking reel seats. The price at 5/$20 is unbeatable anywhere, online or otherwise, and there's some decent grips to be found by sorting through the box.

These would be perfect for anyone looking to build a light-in-the-hand 6' - 8' trout or panfish rod for 1 - 5 wt. lines. I ended up buying a handful of each grip type. :D
