I believe it is a synthetic textured tape made from hypalon.

Actually now they use a coating. I love the stuff myself ( never got used to the rod between the legs thing on the retrieve always seemed sort of some wierd sexual thing that should be better left unsaid)
|
Why even try.........

I HATE that crap! It's like if you wrapped your rod w/30 grit sandpaper...
And that's definately NOT a place I want to go when I'm fishing (to reference Flap's reply)

I've never used it. My Loomis 965 has a cork handle, as does my LR 842.
My 9' Loomis is a custom built with regular cork tape.

I would like my 1266S to be less rough. I was thinking of trying to sand the tape down with a sanding block or would it be better to just replace the stuff with cork?

Maybe I'm a freak... I love the stuff.
