Carbon Fiber Grips: More Than an Accessory, a True Technical Component!

For decades, cork was the go-to material for fishing rod grips, followed by EVA, which provided a more modern and aesthetically diverse alternative. However, in recent years, the introduction of carbon fiber sleeves has revolutionized the market. This material, used in a new form, has enabled the creation of grips with a unique and modern design. Beyond their aesthetics, they offer undeniable technical advantages: lightweight construction, rigidity, and enhanced sensitivity, ensuring a more precise and comfortable fishing experience.

For three decades, carbon has been the reference material for fishing rods. Today, it is also revolutionizing grips, offering both aesthetic and technical advantages. Before mass production, these grips were developed by passionate rodbuilders eager to enhance their fishing equipment.

1. Incredibly Lightweight

Carbon handles feature a foam core, a material that is both rigid and ultra-lightweight. Combined with a carbon fiber sleeve, this grip significantly reduces the overall weight of the fishing rod.

A lighter rod facilitates precise and technical fishing, improving control over movements and casting. A well-balanced setup with a light rod and optimized accessories ensures greater comfort and enhanced performance.

Foam is a rigid material that greatly enhances vibration transmission. Unlike cork or EVA, it amplifies feedback, making it essential for:

  • Feeling the bottom and lure movement
  • Quickly detecting bites
  • Optimizing lure action
