It began with my son, when he was 12 (now 27). We found ourselves at a good fishing spot, with no fishing poles. I crafted two fishing poles, cut a notch for fishing line, and tied the line to it, a hook on the end, and opened a can of corn for bait. I wrapped electrical tape around the end signifying the handle end, and my son asked me to tape his stick/pole for gription … which was about giving the pole a grip, and friction, so gription is the mix of grip and friction …. all too logical. “From the mouths of babes…”

My best friend Michael and I use “gription” all the time! It’s become vernacular for me. Good word. =]
