CKG Vinyl Grip

CKG Vinyl Grip (for carbon fiber pole): One of these came pre-installed on my latest CKG carbon fiber pole. Good concept. But it's tacky and makes flatulent noises as it rubs & catches on my shirts in the back below my shoulder. It's an annoying problem when all-else is quiet. I have to edit the sound out of my YouTube beach detecting videos. I contacted CKG to ask for a "plug" like the ones on my previous poles. But the response was, 'manufacturer's change - old style no longer available.' The pre-installed sleeve isn't easy to peel off. I may have to carefully slice it and then make/install my own end plug.

Shovels suck
Broke 2 not aggressive.

The vinyl handle comes in handy when my hands and or gloves are wet. It is great accessory. I gave it 4 stars based on price vs value. Good value but a little pricey.

I used this on my CKG carbon fiber pole. It helps provide a secure grip, especially in the water.
