I agree that's one slick grip. I also prefer the cork look and have never had problems. Anyone know what the difference between full wells and half wells? Thanks.

The picture 25homes posted is a half wells. The one in mine is full wells.

The super light guides really are a difference maker. I have a Predator H with 2" off the tip at 9' with Titanium Oxide guides and a 400D. It weighs about as much as a heavy bass set up, but will throw everything up to a mag dawg. I have all Syn Cork on all 7 of my customs. Wouldn't hesitate to buy it on #8. Much better grip than the regular cork.

I had somebody PM me about the 2" off the top thing and I was curious how well it will handle small buck tails after that. I believe the smallest i throw is a juice mini. I'm not necessarily looking for a large bait rod.

If you go with the heavy action it will Handle smaller blades great. I throw ghosttails 100 series and dreamcatcher mini's ( both smaller/lighter than a juice mini ) and it does a great job.

Sorry to bring this up again but I ordered my rod today and sent a pick of the fore grip like the one I posted above. Like I said, I've seen it in syncork quite a bit, but I was hoping to get a better pic to send Lonnie at thorne, so if anyone has this style of fore grip in either reg cork or syncork I would appreciate if you could post a pic and also include the length of it if you know it. Thanks.
