CFX Composite Carbon Fiber Grips - 7" Half Wells Fly with Cutout

Light and comfortable

I have it blued up but haven’t finished the rod yet but it is very comfortable. I have had some others compliment the weight and balance it gives the rod.

CFX Composite Carbon Fiber Grip 7 inch half well/cutout

I have always built rods (casting, fly, salt) with cork handles. I was looking to build a 3 wt fly rod and thought I would call Mud Holes's customer service for some advice on the rod blank. I spoke with Jake and after discussing the rod with him, he advised me that I might be happy with the composite carbon grip. I'm an older fellow and build rods for myself, family and friends. Jake challenged me and assured me that I would be happy with this handle and new technology. I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone of 50 years of building rods with cork handles. This handle was easy to work with, mounted well and is lightweight and probably indestructable. A friend asked me to build a rod for him and I used the same handle. I did not think that I would build any more spinning rods but I am seriously thinking of one now with this handle. I think this is also another distinct advantage of dealing with Mud Hole; they have very knowledgable personnel who take the time to speak with you and discuss your rod build!

I love this carbon fiber grip
