Hey guys.....I have placed an order for some components for a set of 130 lb class bent butt rods intended for tuna and night time sword. While building my order I saw a roll of 1"x36" leather wrap material to be used to wrap over an EVA foregrip. I don't think it is self-adhesive....can anyone give me some tips on how to apply it? How to start and finish the wrap? Do I wrap it on the gr

Guys.....just a follow up. Corrosion X is awesome!

Thanks for all the input guys. For the type and amount of fishing my buddy does rod action-performance is not a big issue.

I think I may just choose a spot above the stripper guide where the rod doesn't flex much and insert a metal ferru
