Have both and greatly prefer full grip, with no foregrip. There are some rods that I will not buy due to the fact that they are unavailable in full grip. G.Loomis IMX Mag Bass comes to mind first and foremost. I now buy the Mossyback series. I have very large hands and the grips on 90% of the split grip rods are too small for my paws. Aesthetics,not ergonomics are the driving force behind today's split grip rage. Weigh that little chunk of cork on a digital scale and then tell me if that less than 1/4 oz of missing weight make a difference in the rods weight? Even if it did, the weight reduction is on the wrong side of the balance point.The only reason I prefer no foregrip is that it allows me to keep my index finger on the blank and the fact that a foregrip serves no purpose on a bass rod. I won't even go into my opinion on micro guides. I say all this because in nearly 50 years of serious bass fishing I have seen too many of these fads come and go.

I like the split grip, but they can rather tedious to get in and out of the rodlocker.

I like the full grip for no other reason than the splits get hung up in my hoodie and jacket pockets
