Tennessee forgrip?

When using Tennessee tubing for a handle can you buy tapered forgrips of the same material from anywhere or does it have to the same width as the butt handle?

Trace,
Normally, with a tennessee grip - the rear grip, reel seat and fore grip is one piece of tubing all of the same size.

Good luck

O gotcha that's just a style of handle. Let's say I was going to use the carbon tube with a separate reel seat then forgrip, is there anyway to taper the forgrip? Like a Lamiglas si series or infinity series set up is what I'm kind of trying to replicate. Now that I think about it tho maybe its all one piece? Idk it's a nice handle tho. Thanks roger!

Trace,
You could put on an EVA foregrip if you like.

Be safe
