I have a couple of options to consider for the grip. I could go without fore and rear grip using the SK2 reel seat. Only using Fuji WCS winding checking which I ordered in 7 mm. Will fill the gap between the winding check and blank using thread and finishing epoxy. I also have the option to use 2” Matagi inset, but I’m not sure right now if I will go that route with the SK2 reel seat.
If I use the Sea Guide reel seat I will make a fire and rear grip using cork rings. Will shape using the power wrapper and sandpaper. Will shape it more like a winding check than a fore and rear grip. So it’s going to be thin.
For the butt I have order Matagi butt caps. Will make the rear grip either out of cork or EVA. Also, might add some weight to it for balancing.
