Handle Types

Various types of rod handles are match with all custom fishing rods offered by SignatureFishingRods.com to provide comfort, balance and consistency with the overall design of the fishing rod. A brief description of the handles is below.

Carbon Fiber Graphite: The latest in technology and processing by Grandt Industries. The handle is made from woven carbon fiber graphite and provides a sure grip surface and less weight than the standard cork handle. It has a fixed reel seat position.

Carbon Fiber Graphite with ALPS Reel Seat:This is a woven carbon fiber graphite handle with the triangular machined grade aluminum reel seat.

Carbon Fiber Graphite - Skeleton: This handle is made with the same material as the standard carbon fiber graphite handle but its design is more streamlined and reduces weight. It also has a fixed reel seat position.

Cork - Fixed Reel Seat: Typically uses a cork handle with a predetermined position where the reel is attached to the rod. The reel seat is made from high quality graphite that provides great durability with the reel secured by threaded rings or lever.

Cork - Straight, Trigger Reel Seat: This is the most common handle on casting rods. The cork handle has a predetermined position where the reel is attached. The reel seat is made from high quality graphite that provides great durability with the reel secured by threaded rings or lever.

Foam - EVA Black: EVA black foam grips are light in weight and more durable than cork. They provide greater comfort, and are soft and warm to the touch. Use is generally in saltwater rods.

Foam - Closed Cell: The new saltwater rods have a "closed cell foam" handle. This very durable foam is capable of having color patterns "etched" on to it making each handle unique. rings or lever.

Long: The "long" handle indicates that extra length is added to the handle on longer rods to balance the rod and give better control once a fish is hooked. This handle is frequently used on steelhead/salmon rods. Typically, the rear grip is twelve (12) inches while the fore grip is three (3) inches.

Michigan: Designed for steelhead fishing (wading), the handle has a fly grip on the front fore grip and a small four (4) inch rear grip. The Michigan handle allows an angler to utilize the vast majority of the rod without him worrying about the handle splashing in the water nor hitting him in the ribs.

Pistol Grip: This casting handle is curved in the shape of a pistol handle and has a set trigger to provide a comfortable, firm grip.

Rubber Impregnated Cork: Available on surf rods and for muskie rods, this handle is great when conditions are wet. The impregnated cork provides a comfortable but sure grip.

Slide Ring/Tennessee: Handle with two rings that secure the reel. The rings allow placement of the reel in a position determined by the angler. Since slide ring handles do not have any hardware, this tpye is lighter than most others. Another advantage is It allows you to hold the rod with a smooth surface under your hand with no metal or plastic lumps or hard pieces to cut or freeze you in cold weather.

Tapered: Tapered cork handles are common in fly rods. Reel placement is dependent upon the design of the particular rod handle. The "tapered" handle is comfortable and conforms to an individual better than a straight grip.

Tapered - Fighting Butt: A tapered handle with the addition of a "stop" at the end to prevent one's hand from sliding off. Some stops are screwed in and give the ability to add weight and change the balance of the rod.


Importance of a High Modulus Graphite Blank

The custom fishing rods on this website are manufactured in the USA with the highest quality graphite blanks available. Celebrating over 25 years of manufacturing, the rod blanks contain as much as or higher top quality, graphite modulus counts as fishing rods found in stores or sites selling fishing rods. Why is this important? The top quality, high strain graphite rod blanks have thicker walls for added strength yet are lightweight.

To be a successful angler, you need a fishing rod that:

  • Goes back to center (straightens out) quicker after something hits your lure or bait. This gets you in the best position to set the hook.
  • Has sensitivity. You need to feel the fish to know when a hit has occurred. The blanks used are a high strain graphite that runs the length of the blank and are an element in these high sensitivity fishing rods.
  • Performs better under load. You need a rod that has durability and strength to land a fish on the line.
This means that each custom fishing rod provides a level of sensitivity and durability unparalleled in the industry. You will catch more fish! The best fishing rods are made by Grandt Industries, the industry's innovative USA fishing rod manufacturer.


Four Things To Consider When Buying a Fishing Rod

1. Understand the makeup of a fishing rod. The rod blank, guides, handle and action determine the amount of vibration that travels from the lure/bait up through the line to the hand.

2. Whether you fish freshwater or saltwater, understand the habits of the species your after and the general type of physical environment you plan to fish.

3. While line should be within the range shown for a particular rod, do not forget to match the stretch of line with the action of the rod.

4 The quality of the fishing rod you hold and the line you use are the two things that affect your sense of feel. You are better off purchasing one quality custom fishing rod rather than using the same amount of money to buy several cheaper rods.

"Grandt rods are without question the best rods I have ever used. Their design, material makeup, and performance are extraordinary. Both the 70 million modulus graphite (XLH70) and the All American Pro Series 58 million modulus rods have incredible sensitivity to feel the most subtle strike.

When you fish as many hours in competition fishing as I have done, performance and comfort are extremely important. Many competitive BASS professionals will tell you that a quality rod is worth the price and using Grandt rods will increase your fishing success."

Michael Hall, Professional Fisherman
