Grips - Protection

Does anyone know where I could purchase some reasonable clear covers for grips to keep them from getting soiled when a rod is used for demo.  (Tom Peters)

    Golden Witch has them, I think at 5$. (Ralph Moon)

      REC also carries the shrink wrap tubing for grips.  I bought 100 feet about 5 years ago and have been using it ever since.  Doesn't ??? Clark in the PNW sell some of the shrink wrap, too?   (Harry Boyd)

      REC has clear shrink wrap for grips, don't remember how much.  (John Channer)

      Down here  in the south, us rednecks use the plastic bag the Sunday paper comes in.   A little masking tape to hold it in place and you're set to go.

      (I had one guy ask me if I was building rods with masking tape grips)

      Seriously, I wouldn't use them for demos, but then I wouldn't use anything on my rod for a demo.  I think of all the plastic covered cork I see in Walmart.  ("You Rednecks keep your grubby hands off my clean rod!!!")  I cover mine strictly to keep them from getting soiled while I'm finishing the rod.  (Terry Kirkpatrick)

      REC has shrink wrap for cork grips for $ 0.55 per foot.  (Bill Lamberson)

    You might consider asking Chris Raine for some. Seems like I bought about  15 feet  or more for about five bucks.  (Mike Shay)

    Try Golden Witch for some clear shrink wrap.  (Paul Blakley)


Where can I buy shrink wrap for my cork handles? (David Bolin)
