I pit these grips these grips on 4 freshwater spinning rods whose Winn AR grips were worn out. I just cut off the existing Winn AR grips and slid these into place. Since some of the rods had small blank diameters, I had to use some fiberglass drywall tape to ensure they fit snugly. You have to be really careful otherwise you will definitely over ream them. Once they were glued on, I let them dry for a couple of days and then coated then with 1 coat of Permagloss. Let them dry for a couple of days to seal them good. They turned out beautiful!
