The carbon monocoque grip didn't feel right in my hand, so I tried to modify the rear grip to EVA. However, the rod didn't extend all the way to the end, and the modification failed. I thought about what to do for a while, but couldn't come up with a good solution, so I've decided to list it as a junk item. The tip of the rod is undamaged, so how about buying it as a spare for when your 61UL+-E rod breaks? There is a warranty card, but it's unlikely to be valid since the damage was due to my own circumstances. If you're interested, please take a look.
