Has anyone done much with shrink wrap for rear or Foregrips, for BigGame Rods? & who is a good supplier for it.
Thanks Steve Re: Shrink Wrap

A little twine on first then the shrink tubing gives a nice effect Re: Shrink Wrap

Yes - I've used the shrink wrap on surf rods adjacent to reel seats and as fore grips. I've also used it under the repositionable reel seats that Mudhole sells - works very nicely - very durable stuff. As was already pointed out you can do spirals, crosswraps under it for added designs and textures. I've also used it over damaged rear grips (through butt construction trolling rods) where the owner needed the rod back and/or didn't want the expense of total removal of a butt grip / foregrip. One tip you have to cut it a bit longer than the length you want to cover as it shrinks (minimally) along the length. Re: Shrink Wrap

I got mine from Merrick Tackle. It comes in several inside diameters and colors (black, white, "powder blue, red, green). They also sell a product called "quick grip" as well as the "Economy grade" I'm pretty sure that American Tackle also offers it through MudHole. Here's the link for the Merrick catalog reference (page 34 / scroll down to the correct page)
