How to sand down grip

[Goduster]

even without removing the reel seat it could be chucked and mounted with some steady rests then turned down. I've done it before on a rod I bought and didn't like the grip on. just need to becareful and take your time. any decent custom rodbuilder should be able to do this. However it should have been done right the first time.

It was done right the first time, he told the builder he wanted it slightly larger than the factory grip. I know this builders reputation, and you get what you ask for.
