1st epoxy foam grips with carbon fiber

BYRD · 03-31-2009, 04:50 PM

Folks here is my first attempt with the two part epoxy foam and carbon fiber grips. The rod is for a buddy's wife and she wanted the colors of the high school where she teaches. So that is why it is orange and black. The wraps will be orange unders with black for the guide. The whole rod will be orange and black. I bought the materials from Riley Rods at the expo in High point back in Feb. I believe Capt. Mike is a member here on SFC and goes by the screen name No Excuses. (I think that is his name) Here are a few pics of the grips.

Front grip

Rear grip

Whole grip

This is the first of many. Go to rileyrods.com and have a look, the possibilities are endless.
