Rod Grippage

[Goose]

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.

I like cork tape on my chunk'n boat rod but that pic that Goose had with that shrink wrap over cork tape look's great. I seem to find the cork tape gets a little slimy and grimey wet also gets on your hands
with bits and pieces of cork. I like a comfortable grip above the reel
when I get a fish on. Some of my offthe shelf rods have that kind of
triangular foam style and fits fine in my hand.
