FISHING POLE GRIP
Fishing pole grips and associated components and methods. The fishing pole grips can include a composite structure providing the grips with improved durability, performance, and appearance.
1 . A fishing pole grip comprising:
a fishing pole grip assembly including a shell and an overmolded layer, the fishing pole grip subassembly having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and an intermediate portion therebetween, the shell including a proximal shell component and a distal shell component, the proximal and distal shell components being formed separately and connected to form a joint between the proximal and distal shell components, the proximal and distal shell components forming a substantially hourglass shape such that the fishing pole grip assembly has a generally hourglass shape wherein the proximal and distal end portions are wider than the intermediate portion, the overmolded layer overlying the shell.
2 . A fishing pole grip comprising:
a fishing pole grip assembly including a shell, and overmolded layer, and a carbon fiber tube, the carbon fiber tube and overmolded layer overlying the shell and forming a joint.
