[size 3]But, Are you saying that the size of the cork on standard rods is too small or too large for your comfort?[/size]

[size 3]My opinion is that a fly rod is a tool, but not a hammer. I have large hands and long fingers, and find most rods to be just right, but I have found that I prefer a smaller grip on the lighter/shorter rods. (more delicate presentation)[/size]

[size 3]If you find that the grip on standard rods is too small, try wrapping it with tape until you have found a size that you like, then make decisions about what to do and where to go after that.[/size]

[size 3]If you go custom, there are many choices. Some people like finger indents in their grips.[/size]
[size 3]Others shape them with large palm swells to fit their grip. With custom rods, the options are many.[/size]
