bigtimfish Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I saw the mud hole kits. I did not see one that had a split grip. Is there a starter kit that offers split grips? Honestly I do not want a foregrip either. And how can you tell the length of the handles in the kits? I don't want a 9" handle on a 7'2" rod. Do they come with everything I need to complete the rod?Epoxies and other things like that. Sorry about all of the questions I may be asking for too much out of a starter kit. Any info please. Thanks in advance. Quote
Super User .RM. Posted July 23, 2009 Super User Posted July 23, 2009 Never heard of any kits with a split grip setup, they aren't that advanced. Try reading the sticky at the top of the forum. "Newbies with rod building questions. Updated Links!!" Good Luck...... Quote
Super User flechero Posted July 23, 2009 Super User Posted July 23, 2009 I've seen a number of split grip handle kits but not rod kits. Search for "Lathe" in this section and you'll see some nearly free ways to set up a cork turning station so you can make your own split grip. Making the grip is a big part of the custom nature of a self made rod. If you use a pre-fab grip and don't spiral it, you might as well buy a rack rod... With a little extra research on the front end, you'll do much better than ordering a kit. (I still have never seen a kit with all the "right" stuff in it for a rod I'd like) Quote
