Forecast "Deep-Flex" Slow Pitch Fighting Butt Grip (Less Butt Cap)
The innovative new Forecast Deep-Flex split grip handle system will maximize the
performance of your next slow pitch rod build. These EVA split grips feature integrated shims
that recess deep into each end of the reel seat, filling the interior void almost completely and
creating a flexible yet durable bond to the rod blank. This allows the slow pitch rod blank to
flex completely from tip to fighting butt and eliminates the potentially damaging fulcrums
created by standard grip configurations that can impede rod flex and reduce durability. In
addition to the performance benefits of Forecast Deep-Flex split grips, the integrated shims
also make the rod handle assembly process quick and easy.
Choose multiple split grip length options ranging from 1.5” to 4” that can be paired with the
matching 9” fighting butt and cap. All grips are available in black or gray camo EVA. Split
grip models fit seamlessly with Forecast GT trigger and GS spin reel seats, and area easily
adaptable for use with other models. There are also four complete handle kits containing
grips, butt cap, reel seat, and winding checks.
