Anybody have an idea of the medium or large is best suited to the Longbow X45 blanks ?
Shrink tube grip I believe, want it to be a good tight fit for snag fishing.

The large, I believe, is designed for full cork and duplon. Unless the blank is mega wide you would want the medium for a shrink handle. Don't own those individual rods so cannot check for you.

I'll try the medium. Can always sell them on for larger if needed 👌🏼

I doubt you will need larger. They are well solid for snag fishing. The only issue I had with mine (large) was chewing up the cork handles because they were tight. Shrink is much tougher so should not be an issue.

I wouldn't get the ESP ones . They are to hard. I damaged the shrink tube handle on an Infinity with an ESP one last year.
The Fox medium ones are much better and kinder on the shrink tube .

Medium for shirk handles is what I use. They are great and really hold onto my Torrix rods.

I don't mind a few marks to be honest can always get them redone , rather that then lost a rod lol. Hooked a cat by accident few weeks back and came close.

The fox medium ones really grip infinitys/Longbows well. Those esp ones actually tore up the shrink tube.
