I now have 6 rods in a shop to replace the handles as I was not satisfied with the style of grips they had triggers and fit my rod holders not to my own satisfaction. So off they went to a reputable repairman to replace grips sans the triggers and add a couple of inches in length. The seats on 2 were cracked so far. These are a popular mfg. and series of rods and are thru the grip blanks yet who knows how long they would have lasted in that condition either.

Thanks Wakina for the good info.
