[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Hey Hoosier! They make special tapes to use for better grip. I don't think I'd like plain electrical tape. Seems like it would be slippery with water, fish slime, etc, etc, etc on it. You can buy it in the mail order catalogs like Cablea's or Bass Pro or you can find it locally. Bike shops have tapes for handle bars that serve the same purpose.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Myself, for what I do, I want a reel locked down into a high quailty reel seat but for most of the fishing in this area I'd take all the advice that Skeeter and others have given and tape it up and give it a go. What's the worse that can happen? You could catch a 10+ pounder fish and it rips the reel off? What a story you could tell![/size][/font][
