To get through the season just peel the cork off then put a wrap of cork back on (you'll need about 2 feet tops) then use black tape to hold the ends of the new cork tape down.

After fishing is over peel off the black tape , taper the front end of the cork wrap with a razor blade to a fairly round taper and wrap with D size Nylon. Start at the blank and wrap up the taper , cut and pull the end through and then start about 1/8 inch in on the first wrap and wrap a second layer up the taper again. Apply finish. For the end near the seat just wrap up and down for the two layers ( no need to cut and start on the same end becaiuse there is no taper) and apply finish.

I assume you know how to replace the tip. If not , just ask.
