Don't offer these to Hardy's - rather too good for a Company known for decades to have fitted filled B Grades as standard - at £1.50 trade !

Best wishes

Oddly enough I have developed a new cork grip...which is a "composite" but made entirely from cork and bonded with micro balloons....it is only 8% heavier than natural cork but without the filler.....I thought it would be ideal for the Greys competition rods as the composite grips they use are really heavy ,so wrote to Richard Sanderson at Hardy asking him if he would like to see a couple of samples. That was in September last year, yet to get a reply!

The ID of the bore is 9mm. If you send the rod down I will bung one on for you for an extra £5.
Cheers

Dear Mick ,

If I were you I wouldn't hold my breath ! The freight costs to China probably rule your supplying them way out . And given that they ain't likely to be paying the Chinese a whole lot more than £30 per rod fob - would they want to double their on costs ?

I wouldn't mind seeing a sample tho !

Best wishes

I actually make them in my factory in China ( BlueMoon Fishing | Homepage ) so we could come to a sensible arrangement...I am getting some samples in shortly and send you one.....did you ever see the Q.Suber grips I developed?...you need to see one of those as well!
