Woven tubing

Hello all.
Does anybody know where to buy some Texalium or similar colored woven tubes in a small diameter? I am after a few colours and around the 0.5" thickness. It seems most places sell them for handles so seem a bit thicker. I was looking at using them for split grips to fit a little closer to the blank for a better finished look.

Thanks.

If you can't find any, you can always make your own. Not at all hard to do.

Mark,

Check with Anglers Workshop and see what they have. I know Lamiglass was closing some of it out through them.

S glass is higher modulus than E glass by quite a bit, the difference in weight between crankbait blanks that I remember is 3/8 oz e glass to S glass.
