I am considering trying these, but I have a question: are they like EVA, which has a lot of stretchiness? Or are they like cork, which needs to be reamed to fit the blank?
I want to give them a shot, but I don't want something I have to ream -- reaming cork is probably my least-favorite rod-building task (you can probably tell that I do it by hand). I can't tell how much these things will stretch to accommodate different blank thicknesses. Re: Quick Question - Winn Fishing Grips

Sorry to disappoint but but reaming grips to fit will usually have to be done on just about every rid you build. Using Winn grips is no exception. If the blank is not much larger than the ID of the grip lubricating it with epoxy or rubber cement will bring it to where you need to go. Re: Quick Question - Winn Fishing Grips

The Winn grips are EVA with a poly cover. Per the manufacturer, they can be adjusted to fit using <sand> paper. The mfr does have an instruction video. Perhaps it is on YouTube. If not the US HQ is in Los Angles and should be able to provide the help you are seeking. Don Becker Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
