Heavier
Material

Hypalon is one of the heavier
materials used for making rod
handles. They are heavier than
EVA and cork, two of the more
commonly used materials for rod
grips. This is one of the reasons
why you do not see a lot of modern casting and spinning rods
with them as anglers prefer lighter rods.
