Hi I've 2 Harrison Torrix 3.25 with full duplon handles but am considering getting 3 matching 3.25 greys aircurve with cork handles...
But I'm having that dilemma what will CORK be like the only rods I've even had with cork were float rods...
Who uses cork handle rods here and what are the good and bad points.
I have been reading old reviews on the aircurve and they are good but I know how good my torrix are and its the matching 3 rods I'm really after and without getting a 3rd made as close as possible I see buying 3 new as my best option.. or is ditching the torrix a bad move ??
Questions Questions look forward to cork handle users opinions ...
Regards Steve

Corks are fine. Ditching Harrison's for greys? Madness

Not so much the cork that's the issue,swapping from Harrison to Greys is the thing I would think is crazy but that's just my opinion

Who built them in the first place?

I would rather have 1 slightly different Harrison than 3 greys rods
Personally dont like cork on a carp rod. My barbel rods yes but not my carp rods. Another option is sell the two you have and get a set of 3 mint matching second hand torrix. It will prob be cheaper than having a single one custom built to match and that way they will all be the same. Theres always a few sets if second hand torrix for sale.

I've got cork handles rods and I really like them (Harrisons).
My other half has a set of the cork handled Aircurve - They are a decent rod. If you can pick them up cheap then don't be put off!

Love cork handled rods, carp and trout 
Why not give your 2 existing rods and have a rod builder match a rod and have them all cork handled at the same time. So technically you have 1 new rod but 3 new rods in cork

I would ditch my 3.25 torrix for aircurves in a heartbeat, a much nicer blank imo.
Can't stand Cork handles though, full dupion, or abbreviated would be my choice.

cork up to 2lb test curve for me ... Anything heavier non cork
