    EVA Grips

    So I do not own a lathe and had some EVA that I needed shapped.
    I cut the grips and used a drill to do so!
    These are the fruits of my labour.
    They are for a couple of glass crankbait blanks. I wanted a bigger grip and butt for making those long casts.

    Looks great! It does make sense that bigger grips would be more comfortable over time for making long casts with cranks.

    I like to have a larger butt grip to hold for the long casts. Using the grip points for pendulum action...if that makes sense! lol

    That's actually part of why a split grip was developed - faster and more consistent proper placement of the off hand to assist in two handed casting.
