This looks like heatshrink [www.mudhole.com] over a substrate. Cork or EVA.

That's heat shrink, I use it alot on offshore rods. Comes in different diameters, recently built an inshore split-grip with heat shrink over of EVA. It's pretty durable, and if it does become not-so-welcoming to the eyes, you can just slice it off put some more on it.
