Slingah, I had a st.croix convench with the real cork grip above the reel seet and I hated it. It seemed to just get in the way. My conventional these days is all cork tape and I love it. Just my thoughts, I'm sure some people do like the real cork.

I like cork tape on my surf rods. I went through a shrink tube phase and it is ok but I have since gone back to the cork tape.

It can be easily removed and replaced with CT .
Just take a little while for the epoxy to dry on the top grip

I like cork tape on my surf rods and cork on the spinning rods that I use from a boat.

Well,it's not cork,cork tape or foam.It's a tape material that's textured,like a pebble finish.Similar to a "safety strip" that you would put on a staircase.1" wide and applied like cork tape.
My pal who wraps my rods uses this.
Great stuff.Non-slip when it's cold or you're slimy from catchin'.

GET OUT THERE,

I've been using tennis racket grips for a year now. Find them better than cork tape.

I prefer/use the black pebble grip on both spinning and conventional.
