Fore, mid, & rear cork grips with black EVA ends - where?

I've looked thru all of the sponsors on the left but don't see these listed anywhere. I have seen on a few spinning/casting rods a short section of black EVA foam on the ends of rear and mid cork grips and on the front of a fore grip. I can't find these in anyone's catalog. Are these available anywhere or were they made for a specific rod manufacture? I suppose I could create my own if necessary. Thanks.

If you are talking about the short tapered EVA grips (2 to 3 inches long) I just got some from Robert at fishsticks4u. He is on the left of sponsors. Hope this helps.
HAGO!

No, I'm looking for 3" - 4" cork grips with a black EVA butt section 1/2" - 3/4" long on one end only.

You may have to cut both the cork and EVA grips and combine them to make what you are looking for. Try it, it's fun to do and you can make anything you want.

Could you shorten a Forecast EVA buttcap for what you want?
