Quick Grip

Quick Grip is a synthetic material designed to take the place of the cork tape rod handle grips. It's totally resistant to damage from salt water, ultra-violet rays, and even acids! It's quickly and easily installed on new rod blanks, and even over existing cork tape handles.
   Quick Grip is a seamless sleeve, available with Inside Diameters of .75, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.5 inches. The .75 inch ID is usually best suited for new graphite surf and boat rod blanks, the 1.0 or 1.25 inch size is best for heavier fiberglass rod blanks and the 1.25 inch size fits over most existing cork tape surf rod handles and even some reel seats, making it possible to install Quick Grip as a foregrip without having to rebuild the entire rod.
   When Quick Grip is heated, it shrinks to less than half of its original inside diameter without any change whatsoever in its overall length. At the same time, the thickness of the material increases proportionately, making for a sturdy and durable rod grip.
   A heat gun, low-flame propane torch, or even a powerful hair dryer is all it takes to do the trick. Simply cut the Quick Grip sleeve slightly longer than the desired length. Apply heat (working from the middle toward either end eliminates any chance of bubbles), let it cool, trim the ends with a single-edged razor blade and that's it.

Quick Grip
Any number of textured effects can be created or combined by preparing the rod blank before the Quick Grip is installed. In this example, 50-pound-test monofilament line has been diamond-wrapped along the length of the handle, glued in place, then the Quick Qrip was heat shrunk to fit.

"X" Rubber Shrink Tube
Easy to install rubber shrink tube with the added texture of flocking. Sold in 5'6" lengths, this tubing comes in 4 different ID's. Color: Black.
