    Grips and Reel seat advice for glass rod

    Looking at doing my first build and wanting to use the Rod Geeks 7' MH Glass blanks (details in pic). I'm wanting to use the Fuji PLS Palm Support reel seat. Taking into consideration the blank diameter, what are some good options for grips??

    Doesn't look like the blank diameter is all that big, but just matching up to the PLS reel seat (if I can even use that reel seat).

    I build a lot of those, I use ECSM's most of the time and ream them to fit. PLS would be fine but you're for sure going to have to shim it because I think they only come in like a ID of 18. For grip material I'd just say cork, rings or premade split or full doesn't really matter, personal preference.

    Do you have any pics of your builds on that blank?
