Ken Morrow asked and received my approval to use a FAOL Article on "Determining the Shape and Size of a Cork Handle", this is the first of my many articles for FAOL, that with my permission that has now been published in "The Adaptive Fly Fishing Handbook"! This what Ken Morrow had to say to the introduction to my article...

"The most neglected and universally beneficial modification on can make to a fly rod for anyone ...is to customize the rod grip to fit the hand of the owner. The following section was developed and written by Steven H. McGarthwaite (n.d.). It is by far the best method I have encountered for measuring the proper size and shape for a custom fly rod grip. A properly sized and shaped grip makes as much difference to your casting as a properly fitted pair of shoes does to walking and standing for long periods of time." ~Ken Morrow

Thank you Ken Morrow for you king thoughts and words. ~Parnelli
