cork or foam eva grips?

[trueblue2]

Depends on the kind of rod. I troll almost exclusively and cork does not hold up. It breaks down where the edge of the rod holder is. Hard strikes from trout, salmon and strikers put extreme pressure at this point. I am in the process of rebuilding the handles on all of my trolling rods with Eva.

Have one trolling rod with Eva and it has remained perfect. Probably cheaper to just replace the rods with new, but will enjoy rebuilding the handles as a winter project.

Love the ice fishing, but really looking forward to boating again.
