What Is The Purpose Of Eva Knobs On A Bait Caster? 2025


fishing user avatarBIGGUNZ reply : 

I'm curious why people are using them big foam knobs.


fishing user avatarChrisWi reply : 

Theyre comfortable to some people.


fishing user avatarAlpha Male reply : 

are you talking about add ons or stock?

 

because the ones on my revo's are the most comfortable reels ever.


fishing user avatarthehooligan reply : 

Eva is comfortable.


fishing user avatarJrob78 reply : 

Yep, makes for a great grip material.


fishing user avataraavery2 reply : 

Is this a trick question?


fishing user avatarbigturtle reply : 

Cheaper, lighter and more durable than most cork.

 

I personally prefer cork, because I hate EVA when its wet.

For reel knobs??


fishing user avatarbigturtle reply : 

everything. i like cork.


fishing user avatarTorqueConverter reply : 

Cork can go jump off a bridge.  Keep that grey rotting tree bark away from my rods. 


fishing user avatarbigturtle reply : 

Your rods can also go jump off your hands if its wet with EVA.

That black kitchen sponge material can go jump off a bridge too!  The cheap stuff anyway.  Good EVA is alright but that cork and rubber blended stuff is fantastic grip material.  I'd like to see more manufactures use it.   


fishing user avatarbigturtle reply : 

Rubberized cork grips by fenwick? love that stuff


fishing user avatarSonik reply : 

Winn grips are where it's at. Grippy when dry, tacky when wet, never squishy, and always soft.


fishing user avatarTywithay reply : 

I like quality eva. Never found it to be slippery.


fishing user avatargulfcaptain reply : 

It's light and comfortable.  Next question please.

TAC grips. I like it too but Im up in the air about an entire grip made from it like the aetos rods.

I love it as a reel knob but really prefer cork on the rod handle.


fishing user avatarfishballer06 reply : 

Give me the Shimano rubber grips over anything else, any day of the week.


fishing user avatarDingah reply : 

I personally prefer cork grips myself, i have some on the way for my new revo


fishing user avatarSonik reply : 

What's golf? :P My Cabela's Tournament ZX cranking rod has Winn grips. Love it! I see some custom rods using them now.

Hammer rods uses winn grips on their fishing rods. You can also buy winn split or full handles for custom rods. Hawgtech also just released some Winn soft touch reel grips, which are very intriguing.
fishing user avatarHogsticker reply : 

I don't care for the Winn grips. Heavy and sticky. I prefer a quality Eva rod grip. For reel handle knobs, Shimano septons are the best imo.

X2. I like soft touch knobs as well. I despise the Abu Garcia PVC knobs.
fishing user avatarIAY reply : 

3/4 of my rods are EVA foam, and I enjoy them very much. It's a bit less comfortable than cork, but it doesn't look like crap after couple of months :P (yes I clean them with Mr. Clean) .
