The picture above looks more like a full wells doesn't it, although i have no idea what the Snub nose part means? Maybe a Snub Nose Half wells is a Full Wells, or 3/4 wells?
Anyways, I like the shape of this Grip, but watching a lot of small stream anglers, they like to hold their light sticks with their index finger extended up the blank past the grip and the grip on this rod will make that very uncomfortable. Personally i prefer a thumb on top grip instead of index finger so this won't bother me, but i think it's pretty bold of Sage to choose a grip style that would eliminate a decent portion of the small stream fishermen? What d'you guys reckon?
Anyways, can't wait to get one in my hands and give it a cast or two (Mark, you have my number! ;-))
Grant, the index finger is for accuracy in presentation. Proved to be more a more effective grip.
