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...

Another Option
Electrical supply places, ones that service contractors more so than DIYers, sells the heat shrink tubing in a variety of sizes and in lengths up to 4' or so.
It is more plastic-like and less rubbery than this stuff, but it is very durable and comfortable in the hand.
I like to use it on my butts to protect the blank as I use the rod as a wading staff.
