I just came back to my topic and MY GOD all the comments in negative I see.As for a comment on size of grip if a "professional builder" knows his factory rods he or she should know the handles sizes.Like anyone can do go to St Croix site and you can clearly tell the difference.As stated Kevin has turned it down on his lathe and problem solved,and yes many thanks to him.Guess a good investment for builders is a lathe to make quick work.
And on another note,I hope you are doing well Kevin with your treatments,i know my heart doc wasn't happy with my pulse at 150 when he was trying my nuclear stress test yesterday.Hey when your nervous your nervous.
