Looked all over cant find any RED grip material anywhere. Does anyone have a source? need at least 1/2 inch id total length 2 pieces at least 18 inches.
I think Ted has a source as he will have them for his handle grips.
I have made my own rings out of EVA foam yoga blocks. I checked online, they are available in red. If you are looking for premade grips I can't help you out there. Never tried to make a full grip out of EVA.
Here is an example of the rings I made on a butt section. My rod building is strictly amature hour stuff ;D
Red hypalon up to 16 in with .5 ID: http://www.anglersworkshop.com/Red-Straight-Hypalon-Grips
Not clear if you needed 18 in total, or one section at least 18 in.
I've had good luck with Angler's workshop.
The other option is to check with our own Jon Vadney in the "Jon Vadney" sub-forum under fishing rods. In addition to building rods, he sells components, and will also provide some good advice if needed. He helped me out big time on getting dialed in on a rod building project.

anglers workshop used to have some. they now belong to me. Thanks for your help Seems like red is becoming nonobtanium so i got enough to last me. (5.5 ft)
Beginning to wonder about me and my choice of fishing stuff first it was mustad hooks 94150 10/0 gone then 94150 9/0 gone( I loaded up first) then calstar blanks got scarce then hypalon was gone . then aftco seats went thru the roof.
Glad im not trying to build for sale id tear my hair out.
Mud hole .com has red hypalon in straight 24 inch lengths from 10 bucks. just found in their catalog. good service and if you call they will always help. Dave
