Maybe you haven't fished enough days straight to have your hands soften from constant contact with the water. After a few days even 12# cuts into the creases of my fingers when tying knots.

I can see where a rough grip could be a problem.

I think I put enough time in to know if I prefer cork or pebble grip.
Fishing 40 hours or so a week during the Spring and Fall seasons has got me pretty well dialed in to what I prefer.
