Rejected cover shot for latest issue of RodMaker Magazine. Shows basic, simple custom made EVA grips. Combining various combinations and colors results in an almost unlimited array of designs anyone can make. Very easy to do.

Very nicely done!
The possibilities are unlimited for making unique designs. The same principles for making those are also applicable to cork or wood.

In the article, I focused on grips that could be made without any special jigs or fixtures - I wanted people to be able to go right to work without having to acquire any special tooling that they might not already have. But if you do acquire any of the various checkerboard or alternating type jigs that are availble for this sort of thing, then you open up even more possibilities.

It would be nice to see more people doing or posting pics of EVA grips, similar to what the wood guys have been posting lately.

Lord, I love the looks of that stuff!! These walleye anglers around here (self included) are hung up on pure cork so its something that I don't think I'll be doing. Maybe on my personal "dummy" (rod holder) rods??
