Tour Star

Anyone ever use one, or something similar for that matter?
I have a couple older rods, the cork is starting to go to shite, was looking at other options, rather than replace the rod.
I remember seeing them at the Classic in Shreveport, if I recall correctly, the company was founded by one of the founders of All Star.

What say the OB?

Did not know they existed. Could tell they were Winn as soon as I saw them.

Seem a little expensive, but am curious to see how they feel. I don't like split grip rods, so maybe this is my next step when my cork falls apart.

Another option is shrink wrap grip material that can go over the old grips. Probably a good idea to fill any pits first before using the shrink wrap.

So you can cast 300 yards. What a joke.

You can buy cork tape at most rod building shops. If your cork is not pitted, just sand it down. If it is, I'd try to rejuvenate the old pitted cork by mixing up some epoxy/flexcoat with ground up cork, filling in the gaps and sanding smooth after it dries.
