I like the cork tape on my surf rods, like previously stated if they wear out easily replaced. Plus i like the small diameter, for me it gives me a better feel of whats going on on the other end of the line. Cork on the fly rod..  |
Used hard and put away dirty....

cork tape or cork and no hypalon . I hate it when it gets slippery and you have to use a rag just to be able to hold the rod . Saw more than one disappear into the sea on charter boats ( could have been the clients fault ) .

Depends on the application. I like cork tape (not cork) on my surfcasting gear. The thinner profile seems to help me cast better. For trolling and standup tuna gear I like foam since I like the comfort when fighting fish from a boat, especially larger fish.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Electrical rubber tubbing that shrinks over thick cord in a diamond wrap. Had this done on a rod bout 10 years ago from Phil at Manhattan Custom Tackle, now all rods are done like this. Comfortable, durable and seems to last forever.

All different kinds. Most of my rods have cork tape but I luv the way cork feels on pluggin rods. I also like mixing it up, I've used the textured shrink tube on the butt section... keeps it lite(one of my favorites). I also put some eva in the middle of my fore grip as a hook keeper, looks kinda funny but effective. I double up on skinny diameter.. good idea for fatigue, also a must if your building kids rods. Custom grips...one of the nice things about rod building.
I trimmed the buttcap on this 1084,,yeah its petty feels nice.
