Om du har tillgång till en svarv eller en borr så är det nog bäst att göra din egen handtag från Cork ringar. Det är lätt att göra och detta sätt kan du få dem valfri längd du vill ha dem. Mudhole säljer också långa kork grepp. Kanske limma två (eller flera) av dessa tillsammans kommer att fungera för dig?

If you have access to a lathe or a drill, it's probably best to make your own handles from Cork rings. It is easy to do and this way you can get them any length you want them. Mudhole also sell long cork grip. Perhaps gluing two (or more) of these together will work for you?

For long rods you might be thinking of Cork Tape. We use that a lot on jig rods with no reel seat.

Same here. On some personal surf rods, I use coasters with cork tape grips. Simple but efficient. C2
