In addition to my question about rubberized cork, anyone know of a source for woven graphite tubing (as shown on page 20 Vol 4 #4 of RodMaker)? So far, I have only been able to find unidirectional tubes and not a pretty. Thanks so much.

The original "Tn. Graphite Sensor Tubing" is made of the woven graphite material. It is a handle system that we developed several years ago at Custom Tackle Supply. We pride it in being the very best woven graphite tubing available. The only problem being, our supply source only makes it available about four to six times a year. When we have it, we generally have lots of it, but when we are out we may be out a while. It is one of those products that needs to ordered in quantities, when we have it here in stock. We also carry the rubberized cork ring material, but the situation with that has been the same. I have heard of fellows punching out the thicker gasket material and also using that. I did hear mention that Anglers Workshop did have some of the rubber cork material around at this time.
