Can't say about the finger irritation, but just the other day I was talking with a guy at the canal, and he showed me his rod with the cork tape......It has actually worn thru in one area (about 2-3 of the wraps) from holding it between his legs and hip boots and jigging the canal.
He said he was just gonna cut it off and leave the blank exposed as opposed to replacing it.....
I just hope that's not what's in store for my Tica with the cork tape....
