It is non-skid 1" tape, not heat shrink. It can be found at Home Depot or West Marine. Sometimes they only stock grey and you may have to search to find black. Some rod makers stock it, but it doesn't seem to be a common item. I have used it as an overwrap to protect the cork tape (as does Loomis) and haven't found any downside to using it other than cost and extra time to apply it. It stands up well and should protect the cork tape underneath it. I use my rods in the boat a lot and they end up in rod holders which wear down cork tape. This stuff stands up well in the rod holders. I haven't had it stick to my clothing yet.
