A classic grip—with a little more story in the details.
This custom cork grip is hand-turned from premium Flor grade cork and finished with multiple Sapele wood accent bands, creating a layered, balanced look that stands out without overpowering the rod. The warm tones of Sapele bring depth and contrast, while the repeated banding adds a subtle visual cadence along the grip.
Shaped by hand in the Sierra foothills, this profile blends a streamlined cigar taper with a slightly fuller mid-section—giving you control where you need it and comfort that lasts all day.
Details
Premium Flor grade cork
Hand-shaped ergonomic profile
Multiple Sapele hardwood accent bands for durability and visual depth
Composite cork trim at the ends for added strength
Smooth, sealed finish with a natural in-hand feel
Ideal for 3–6 wt trout rods
Design Character
Where a single accent ring whispers, this one speaks in a low, steady tone. The repeating Sapele bands create a sense of movement—almost like the wraps on a rod or the rings of a tree—subtle, intentional, and rooted in craftsmanship.
Why It Matters
The grip is where the rod disappears and the experience begins. This one is built to feel natural from the first cast and only get better with time on the water.
Perfect For
Custom fly rod builds with a bit more visual character
Matching builds with Sapele reel seat inserts
Anglers who want tradition—with a signature twist
Each grip is individually crafted, shaped by hand, and one of a kind.
