    Changing grips

    I've got a new Loomis IMX 844 with full cork handle. I like split grip the most. Is it possible to switch to split grip and who could do. Will it kill the performance of the rod.


    Love me some Powell\'s!!!

    do it your self , find george roths page he has an article about diy . just take your time . ive done about 25 all stars in the last 2 years. but i replaced the cork with some eva foam grips i turned on a lathe. its easy just take your time and be sure of your handle shape before you cut too far
