The cork "Burl", is available in a at least a couple of other colors. I have sold some to rodmakers who use them for similiar accent pieces with a
greenish and a reddish color.
Rods wrapped with either tan, green, or red thread match up well with similiar colored "burl" cork. There are a lot of saltwater/steelhead/salmon rods that use this type of cork in high wear areas. Peter |

Peter,
A full grip of the natural "Burl" cork makes a very nice grip and after time they will take a patina that is stunning (especially when you rub floatant and sunscreen and fish slime onto it!;-)). And with the degree of hardness increased in the grip due to the use of the composite burl you have a better connection with your blank than you do with regular cork due to its dampening factors which kill to a degree the vibrations coming through the rod because of its 13 sided closed cellular structure (Tetrakaidecahedral structure).
