I was wandering if someone could tell me from experience , where would be the best place to get cork colored EVA or KORK-O-LON . I bought some not long ago but was not happy with the fact that it had very little grain pattern it looked like a light tan EVA . Thanks .............Max

The real thing doesn't hold up in a lot of fishing situations. Merrick has it listed on page 69 of their catalouge, so I assume others have it as well. Cork colored EVA - tehre used to be TAn Customgrip, which has been discontinued for a few years. I would love to get my hands on some of this - sheets, blocks, preformed grips - but tha tis more of a golden brown color and is much darker than cork

Billy - I've seen some Customgrip pop up on @#$%& from time to time lately - keep your eyes peeled there...

Kork-a-lon or whatever it's called - I think Jann's might carry it??
