(Shimano lists the grip as 9.5 but thats only the forward cork portion of the gripnearly all coastal anglers are two-hand casters, so the length of the bottom grip is important.) I dont like the exposed blank section of the rod below the reel seat, on this or any spinning rod, because I frequently seem to grab the blank instead of the grip, but I realize the missing grip section helps to keep the rod light as well as make it affordable
