I'm going to try this next, shouldn't be as grippy as the tape, but might last longer, personally I like the look of Cork, but when it looks really good,...

Wouldn't make you a better caster though

Well, you did state that it was a clear example of putting weight before linespeed and loopsize ;) That the OB and OB short are wannabe shootingheads missing the option of changing heads isn't a secret, and what they are meant to be :) Cheers Lasse I'll bet a fly fisherman's bobber that Rio did not...
