Do surf rod manufacturers glue down their shrink tubing?

I'm looking at getting a Penn Squadron or Okuma's equivalent and customizing the handle configuration... but if the shrink tubing is glued down, I'd rather not mess with them.

I don't believe that it is. Hopefully, someone else can give you a more definitive answer.

Matthew: If you get an answer please post your finding. Gliding down shrink tubing is much like nailing down a screw. nailing down a screw.

They do have adhesive lined heat shrink tubing. But no, not all heat shrink tubing has it.
