Why not just replace the cork tape? Its pretty inexpensive and easy to do. If it's below the reel seat, you'll need less than 5 feet. Just put a little electrical tape over the ends of the cork tape at the beginning and at the end and you're good to go  . |

Jim, you might want to make a trip to CMS in New Bedford today. I know they stock the stuff and may put it on for you right there. |

No, he doesn't want to take a trip to CMS today---they're closed on Sundays 
But if you're going to drive to New Beffa, it's only another 20 minutes to M&Ds and I think Mike has it--I know he fishes it on his personal SSU. |

This is what it looks like. A complete boob like myself figured it out in 5 minutes, so its obviously quite easy to install with just a heating gun or torch...

All my rods have it (a couple I just got will have it very soon).
CMS carries it.

Conventional.... probably not if it has a trigger, spinning, yes. The starting diameter is more than enough.
Take some measurements if you want to do it yourself and bring em down to CMS, they're very very helpful.
A hair dryer works fine, heat gun (VERY CAREFULLY) even better to shrink it down. |
