FEATURE | WINN GRIPS
For many years Californian
based manufacturer, Winn Grips,
has dominated the premium
sports grip market. Its polymer
technology has been receiving
praise from golfers around the
globe for decades, due to the grip’s
comfortable yet “tacky” feel.
THE WINN GRIPS
REVOLUTION
In recent years, due in part to large
tackle manufacturers using Winn’s
polymer technology in their product
lines, anglers have quickly been
acclimated to the benefi ts of Winn’s
polymer fi shing grips. Anglers from
virtually all markets say that Winn’s
polymer grips are more comfortable,
highly slip resistant and perform better
when wet than most traditional grip
mediums, for example, cork, EVA and
foam.
Aside from the major rod
manufacturer’s use of Winn’s
innovative grips, anglers have been
taking advantage of Winn’s large
offering of after-market options.
The company’s extremely popular
rod wraps offer anglers the ability
to improve their grip on existing
rods, while simultaneously offering
a wide array of colours and designs
to meet the angler’s desire for tackle
personalisation and customisation.
Whether you are a saltwater angler,
freshwater angler or fl y fi sherman,
Winn has a Polymer Overwrap that can

be easily applied to improve the feel
and function of your favourite item of
tackle.
While Winn continues to improve
and expand its polymer rod wrap lines,
it has also continued to introduce
other innovative after-market solutions
to improve anglers experience while
on the water. Winn’s Grip Sleeves
exemplify this, using Winn’s patented
polymer technology to provide anglers
with a product that improves anglers
grip on reel handles. With the polymer
grip sleeves offered in 3 unique profi les,
anglers now have the additional benefi t
of deciding the ergonomics of their reel
handles.
As impressive as Winn’s Overwrap
and Grip Sleeve lines are, Winn also
offers a massive assortment of custom
grips that replace the need for cork or
EVA handles. Custom Rod Builders, a
tight knit community that discusses
at length any product worthy of their
most recent project, have deliberated
and concluded that Winn rod building
components are one of the best
products recently introduced to their
niche market. However, rod builders
are not the only ones who will benefi t
from Winn’s large line of polymer
grips. Winn has big plans to open more
service centres where existing rod grips
can be quickly replaced with Winn’s
aftermarket grip solutions. By having
control over the way your tackle looks
is great, but having total control over
the way it feels is critical.
