Winn Rod grip Benefits

What is behind Winn's winning rod grip performance?

Winn’s superior polymer grip technology puts control and comfort quite literally in the angler’s hand and provides tacky sure-grip security even in cold and wet conditions! Winn pioneered polymer grip technology for the sports world, revolutionizing golf, tennis, and bicycling with grips that reduced fatigue, enhanced control, and reduced injuries due to repetitive motion.

Winn has developed patented multiple polymer compounds that are tackier, more shock absorbent, and more comfortable than traditional Cork and EVA Foam. Its patented polymers are uniquely formulated to achieve a wide range of firmness, texture, sensitivity, weight and design options sure to meet every fisherman's needs!

Advanced Integration (AI) technology enables Winn to deliver mixes of firmness and texture along with unprecedented comfort, performance and design capabilities.
