Mudhole has the short EVA grips you are talking about. http://www.mudhole.com/Shop-Our-Cata...EVA-Surf-Grips

Billy 40 on the SOL site sells a book that is supposedly state of the art on decorative wraps (I've not read it). It is called "Decorative Wraps" by Billy Vivona.

Thank you, I wasn't sure they were the same thing or not when I saw them a couple of days ago.

The SOL rodboard has its first post sticky and it show a gazzilion different wraps. You have to figure out how to do them but at least you can see a whole bunch of different ones to give you ideas.

After doing many , you can usually figure out how to do them if you have a good picture of the finished product.

Some people like the little eva foam cone behind the reel seat so there hand doesn't have the square end of the reel seat digging into it , especially conventional reel seats. I like to use a dremel and the rod lathe to chamfer the back corner on the conventional reel seats sometimes so the eva is not needed. I don't like the feel of eva when its wet and after it gets slimmy from use.

I have wrapped a number of designs and I was just looking for something out of the ordinary. Saw on a rodcrafters site a brazilian guys work, one in particular, a snakeskin wrap that was awesome.

I ordered some of the evo's but I think I might just use three or four 1/2 burl cork rings fore and aft the grips and shape them on my rod lathe. Bring them down quite a bit and fit them over the cork tape or fit the tape up to it. Thank you
