Pistol grip question

I have a customer asking for a rod built with a pistol grip. I only see the cork model shown at Mudhole. Anyone know of another source for these? The customer would perfer not to use cork.

You can certainly turn one from any other material.

If you check the online @#$%& sites, there are some pistol grips complete with a reel seat where the blank is simply attached to the front of the reel seat. Just do some searches.

Be safe

Chuck is he looking for something like the older Fuji pistol grips for a bass casting rod?

Yes, that is exactly what he would like. Just like the old style Fuji.
