I love EVA handles and much prefer them to cork ones. It does feel very nice and high quality. After about 30 outings with the 77 model, I see no signs of wear on the handle. I do wash the rods and the reels after each trip as I've been only saltwater fishing lately. One quirk that I've noticed about this particular Fuji reel seat is that it tends to get unscrewed a little while fishing. Possibly due to the size of the Luvias' reel foot and not a big deal for me.
Thanks for the notes! If I’m being honest, I think those last questions were the result of “it’s a lot of money, what if I #%$ it all up”. That makes me feel much better about it.
