Quick take
Heat-shrinkable sleeve wrap for repairing or replacing fishing rod grips with a non-slip waterproof finish.
This Weilan heat shrink sleeve is a 39-inch (1 m) length of black tubing in a 35 mm flat width, made to cover and re-grip a worn rod handle. It slips over the grip and tightens down with a heat gun or hair dryer, leaving a textured, non-slip surface that suits wet hands in fresh or salt water. It also fits other handles such as tool grips, so one length can cover a rod repair and then some.
