Anyone know a source for 1 1/2" cork rings in finer grades?

Sort of ... Batson 15" large OD preformed grips. I get them from Bob at Custom Tackle. They are NOT cheap, but they are less than rings AND much better quality IMO.

They are AAAA grade. I have been using them for tarpon and permit rods. I buy the grips and cut them to length and then shape.

Everything else I have ordered to try was low grade, regardless of description.
