captsully18 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Several years ago a company in Memphis made an after-market pistol grip replacement handle. This handle was made from rubber, and actually felt like the grip on a revolver. I think the company's name was Lee-Dar. I cannot find them on the internet, so figure they are no longer in business. Does anyone remember this handle, and do you have any idea where I can get any that are even close? Thanks David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidgrad Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I know they aren't a sponsor, but mudhole has some cork pistol grips on sale. Maybe that could work? I'm not familiar with the handle you referenced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captsully18 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thanks, I am familiar with the Mud Hole handles. I am looking for a hard rubber pistol grip. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 David, I don't know of any solid rubber handles but I have coated some of my handles with a rubber compound called Grip Dip. It is a rubberized plastic coating much like that which tool handles are dipped in. I paint mine on. Comes in several different colors. It's manuf. by Homax Products, inc.

captsully18 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Dutchman, sounds like a novel idea. I may just have to try that on a rod. Thanks. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Try doing a search on e-bay for (lews,lew's,lew childre)They quite often have the pistol grip handles up there, if it is like handles on the old Lew's speed sticks.

Richard Prager Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I've seen just the grips also. You should be able to get them for about $10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appologize for being so computer illiterate that it has taken me so long to learn how to post this photo. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannabeeFishing Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) [attach]3830[/attach]Is this what you are looking for? Wait long enough and everything will come back in style again. These handles were all the rage about 10 - 15 years ago. I got rid of all my rods with rubber pistol grip handles because they wouldn't fit in the vertical rod holders on my CC boat. Oddly enough, I just bought a 7' 11" Okuma swimbait rod that has a 15" grip and they put a partial cork pistol grip at the end, so I may have the same issue again. The butt section of the rod 'un-telescopes' into the handle to give a collapsed length under 7 feet so it fits in the back of the truck.
