Tubinjoe...
Unfortunately cork will brittle and fall apart...if you have to replace it... I suggest you either rewrap it with cork and this textured shrink tube. the feel on it is great and is not too expensive. If you can get to Bigfish bait and tackle on seal beach blvd and PCH they can get it done for you. another option is (i have seen this only on a few rods at bigfish.. is a rubber textured tape. Like corktape but rubber. Like I said check with Bigfish, that is where I get my stuff I am sure they can help you out.. I do not like black cord it is really hard onthe hand..Now if you must wrap cord...I suggest (spelling?)zane cord... looks like the cord you wanna use but with smoother texture. lemme know if I can help further... if I cant, i find someone to help you out.
