Egg shaped butt cap/covers (?)

does any one know of any where I can look for butt caps/covers(?). I want to have the blank exposed for about 6-8" between the end of the handle and the butt and want something that resembles an egg to grip when casting?

Sorry about the lack of clarity. I'm just in the planning stage and the ideas haven't fully made themselves know to me.

Any ideas for this will be appreciated.

Bob McKamey at Custom Tackle. I purchase mine there so I am 100% sure that he has them, just got some more in this week. They are a high quality EVA foam - nice and light.
