[QUOTE="KDM, post: 36143, member: 314"] Wood provides seamless contact with the rod blank without any gaps like foam or cork which provides an OUTSTANDING sense of feel with the lure. The wood in the handle balances the lure on the end. My rods were built to use an 1/8th oz jig. When I tie on a jig, the rod is perfectly balanced at the reel attachment with the size reel I have. It keeps your forearm and wrist from getting cramped or over tired throughout the day. My handles are made of purple heartwood, mesquite, and Black walnut. They are durable, but you have to keep them out of the sun. The heat and sun will make the handle split if you don't take care of them. It would be VERY DIFFICULT for me to use anything but a wood handle now. [/QUOTE]
