there several options you have, of those I would put electrical tape at the bottom of the list, it just doesn't have the abrasion resistance. 3M makes a vinyl nonskid tape you could apply over the corktape, or you could wrap the reel seat area with tuna cord and use some varnish or epoxy for a finish, my favorite would be shrink tube, it is available in a wide varitey of sizes and your best source would be an electronics supply house. You could also try badfish.com Louis has some new textured shrink tubing and a really good selection of rodbuilding supplies, good luck with your project.<br><br><font color=purple>2NA</font color=purple>
