I still like the style, I just need to re-wrap over something that provides some friction.

the 1327 doesn't have a lot of taper in the butt...I'm wondering if my wraps didn't slip bc of that....I fished this rod all over and swam with it, worst unravel I had a was a little slippage fixed by spinning the cord tighter.

For the rest of my handles, I'll be looking into some sort of adhesive or sealer just to be safe.
