Some people like the little eva foam cone behind the reel seat so there hand doesn't have the square end of the reel seat digging into it , especially conventional reel seats. I like to use a dremel and the rod lathe to chamfer the back corner on the conventional reel seats sometimes so the eva is not needed. I don't like the feel of eva when its wet and after it gets slimmy from use.

I have wrapped a number of designs and I was just looking for something out of the ordinary. Saw on a rodcrafters site a brazilian guys work, one in particular, a snakeskin wrap that was awesome.
I ordered some of the evo's but I think I might just use three or four 1/2 burl cork rings fore and aft the grips and shape them on my rod lathe. Bring them down quite a bit and fit them over the cork tape or fit the tape up to it. Thank you
