They like the look and feel. They don't like the price. cost on the material is $1.35per inch & after drilling ,glueing and sanding comes out to aprox $1.90 per inch OUCH |

I like a custom shaped cork fore grip and cork tape on the butt section...I have been experimenting with quality friction tape as in the really wet conditions this stuff will not slip period. I have different rods done different ways but prefer the above

Slingah, I had a st.croix convench with the real cork grip above the reel seet and I hated it. It seemed to just get in the way. My conventional these days is all cork tape and I love it. Just my thoughts, I'm sure some people do like the real cork.

I like cork tape on my surf rods. I went through a shrink tube phase and it is ok but I have since gone back to the cork tape.

It can be easily removed and replaced with CT .
Just take a little while for the epoxy to dry on the top grip
