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 open-end design allows the grip to accept a butt cap or gimbal, giving builders flexibility to match their preferred finishing components and rod style.

Suitable for a wide range of rod builds including softbait, jigging, and multi-purpose spinning rods.
