Description
The K-Labs TaperGrip™ EVA is designed for rod builders who want a clean, minimalist rear grip with a refined tapered profile.
Manufactured from high-density 80° EVA, the TaperGrip™ provides excellent durability, comfort, and grip while maintaining a sleek modern appearance. The tapered shape transitions smoothly into reel seats or winding checks, making it ideal for performance-focused custom builds.
The closed-end design eliminates the need for a separate butt cap, creating a seamless finish at the rear of the rod while reducing build time and additional components.
Suitable for a wide range of rod styles including softbait, jigging, and multi-purpose spinning rods.
