Shrink tube is like anything else, its what makes custom rod building 'custom'. You may have to spend a buck or two to get the X's in the shrink tube... sooooo what. Imo, its what makes rod building unique. Its wicked easy, use a heat gun. I'll post a pic or two when I get a chance.
X-Flock goes on all my rods now. The way I look at it, I was re-wrapping the grip on each rod every off season as I wear through the cork tape on my more well used rods in a season. That and the cork dries out and starts looking like crap by the end of a season in the surf. Witht he flock, that is pretty much eliminated as the stuff really holds up.
"Out there in the surf is where it's at, that's where the line gets drawn in the sand between those who talk fishing and those who live it."
