CUSTOM ROD BY MARK CROUSE AND ZTECH GRIPS BY TOM ZIMMERMAN

11/09/2024

For over a decade, my revolutionary rod grip design has been honed through rigorous testing and has earned widespread praise for its unparalleled comfort, balance, and aesthetics. Despite limited funding, which has restricted my reach to word of mouth and my website, those who have experienced these grips recognize their exceptional quality—so much so that no one has ever suggested a single modification.
Each grip is custom-crafted to fit any rod blank and tailored to the precise specifications of each user, providing an ideal fit for both amateurs and seasoned anglers alike. I’m now proud to introduce a universal, high-performance carbon fiber model, created using a precision-engineered steel split mold, a specialized bladder, with 3 layers of premium 3mm twill prepreg carbon fiber oven-cured under controlled pressure, resulting in a lightweight, durable, and high-strength grip that elevates any fishing rod.
Whether you’re looking for a unique, ergonomically refined grip or seeking to offer your clients a truly innovative, industry-changing upgrade, these rod grips are the future of fishing. The attention to detail and innovation behind every grip is unmatched, making each one a statement of quality and craftsmanship that you simply won’t find anywhere else.
