What kinds of wraps or tapes does everyone use for the cork on your rods?

I use the XPS handle wrap from BassPro. Provides good grip and doesn't wear out quickly. All my casting rods have it.

Go on eBay and buy some X wrap shrink tube. I have it on brand new rods and it seems to hold up really well. Looks pretty cool too. If you want to see a picture I have a black river xh for sale on here with it.

I just got 100ft of the X-Shrink stuff. Great feel to it and easy to put on. Did this rod today in about 5 minutes.

I use the 35mm and it works great. Have used that size on a premier, black river, and chaos and so far i have not had any issues

35mm works best on 1.25" grips.
