What's the reason you're asking the question, are you part of a tackle company canvassing anglers?

Probably bored.

Well for me it depends on what type of fishing, so theirs an open ended answer for the poster 😀

Though assuming carp - duplon or shrink wrap is fine.

Is Winn grip the wrap that makes your rod look like a golf club?

Full cork, but only flor grade with minimal filler. Not the quality like Fox or Korum uses.

Yes was having a read lots of folk use winn grips for golf as it gives good all weather grip, is lightweight and is relatively cheap I can see it's popular with lure anglers due to these attributes as it's all about feel when your using lures.

I guess the only downside is life is shorter.

The fact that your expensive blank looks like something left at the pitch and putt would put me off but each to their own!
