Description

Alps makes a few different styles of ready set trigger seats with pre-glued carbon fiber grips. These are a great way to add bling and performance to any casting rod, the carbon fiber is more sensitive and lighter than EVA or Cork while still giving you plenty of grip on the rod. RS-TX16CFG-1 This grip set features a short foregrip fitted to the nut of the reel seat, making it ergonomic and easy to use without having to glue a separate grip above it. 9.16" long 0.375" inner diameter made to be reamed. The rear grip, reel seat insert, nut and winding check are all carbon fiber. Ready Set Grip, ALPS TX16-15, Hood TX16FG, FCRG3.75-375 RS-TX16CFG-3 This grip set features a bit longer carbon fiber foregrip hood than the tapered one mentioned above, it also saves you a bit of money since it doesn't have the carbon fiber winding check and has a glued EVA insert that prevents you from seeing inside the reel seat from the top. 8.77" long 0.375" inner diameter. Ready Set Grip, ALPS TX16-15, Hood TX16FG, FCSGRG4-350 RS-TX17NFG-1 This grip features a larger reel seat size 17 so it works great for heavier swimbait rods. It doesn't feature a carbon fiber hood nut but with this build you won't even need a winding check since it is built in. 9.11" long 0.350" inner diameter. Ready Set Grip, ALPS TX17, Hood TX17-DKN, FCRG3.75-375
