Evan Pease Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Does anyone else sand down their handles or anything with their cork grip rods? I do it to my TD-S's to make them feel more like my L/T. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted February 13, 2008 Super User Posted February 13, 2008 I cut all the guides off my G. Loomis CR724 IMX and spiral wrapped the guides. How's that for a mod? Ronnie Quote
Evan Pease Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 Thats pretty killer! Ive always wanted to try spiral wrapped but Ive been too engrosed in financing Diawas Quote
vicdotcom Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I did my first mod a little while ago and posted it in the tackle making forum. But I guess I can show it here also. It was my first attempt so I just purchased a 50$ clarus to practice with. What I did was added an extension handle and split the grip. Then I wrapped it in blue nylon and put some flexcoat on it. Ohh I also balanced the rod and removed that front cork piece. Here are some of the pictures. Took about 5 hours total but was a lot of fun Vic Quote
Infidel. Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Does anyone else sand down their handles or anything with their cork grip rods? I do it to my TD-S's to make them feel more like my L/T. Really? The handles are my favorite thing about the TD-S and TD-X rods. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 13, 2008 Super User Posted February 13, 2008 Why would you buy a new rod if the handle needed to be modified? The choices are many. : Quote
