Super User J Francho Posted April 4, 2012 Super User Posted April 4, 2012 You might find a used Avid. Quote
msolorio Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 if you look hard enough you might be able to find a used dobyns champion series 735c also or just search the online stores and you might come across somethin. Quote

BASS-Master01 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 the Bass Pro rods are good rods that are full cork most of the time I love mine and they are a good price. Quote
MrSwimJig Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 The Avid is a very nice full cork length grip handle. I just don't like the hump they put in it. I just wish it was the same size all the way across. BPS has some full cork grips but they have added that Power Hump and I just hate that. You might be able to find some of the old Shimano Crucial Full Cork Grip rods. I have a couple of them and just love them. I prefer full grip over split grip but it is just becoming harder and harder to find full cork grip handles anymore. Or even some G-Loomis rods before the split grip. Quote
Globadoc Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Curiosity: why do some of you hate split grips so much? Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted April 11, 2012 Super User Posted April 11, 2012 Why are you concerned about the rear grip style? Makes absolutely no difference in rod performance. There are many more important aspects to be focused on. If it's just that you "like" a full grip, I think you'll be passing up a lot of quality rods for nothing more than aesthetics. Quote
