These grips are 100% genuine and the leather is ultra comfortable not to mention tough as steel,and after all,these guys made it through the ice age and there arn't to many others living today you can say that about,besides you guessed it,the shark,and the dam cockroach!!lol
Now on these links here below,your going to see a few of our Genuine Ostrich leather grips.If anyone knows their leather,they sure know Ostrich is among the very best if not the best. I love the grip this leather offers and is absolutly beautiful,and just screams custom.

Now let's get back to more conventionasl grips,,super durable and virtually indestructible,we have the "Rail Grip" which is made from a Cork and rubber combination...and let me tell you something,you cant hurt these grip right here with that rubber mixed in it..they are heavier than your cork,but will surely outlast most any grip avail today,and to me thats worth the little additional weight they add to a rod...especially when your building someone a rod they will cherish for the rest of their days. Here we have rail grip casting rod..My client requested the rail as he takes those long range boats out of San Diego and goes after those giant Tuna,and needs to rest the rod on the rails alot during the long battles with 300# plus Tuna...and yes he is a member of the 300 club on that boat.
What I did here was a multi marbled finish,transitioning into a lime at tip,,and also did marbled flame inlays right into the tops of the foregrips for him,both with an added treat of glowing like toxic waste at night,,this glows for up to 8 hours with a full charge from any light source..When the video starts try to have your lights off and the room dark,and you will see exactly how strong this glows for me.It does not change the appearnce of my rods either,and can be in many colors....like say I built an all black rod,and applied my red glow to it...well you would have a black rod during the day,and a glowing red one at night,,and so on,,this is excellent for all you night fishing guys out there,,and it pretty darn cool to look at...The LIME and Blue,,,the blue is in this video,seem to glow the strongest,and it glows so strong that in a pitch dark room,I can hold a piece of paper like 3 inches away from the flames,and read it perfectly,,,this is also great for night guys for tieing hooks ect...many ways to use this...also what if you were out on your boat and lost all power,,youd have your rod to signal other boats with,,and so on...it really is beneficial in so many ways!
Well here it is...I am just finishing up 2 similar,but with lime glowing flames and glowing last foot and a half of the tips...and I will post that on here in a few days...the flames are incredible.
Herss the link,check out these glowing flames,,,shut your lights out first though and full screen the video!!
