I have the Avid Jigging rods with spinning reels. I just use black electrical tape. Hockey tape would probably give you more grip.
Ok, I did a bit more research and have decided I will use tape as I don't want to deal with indents from bands. As for tape... tommy tape, silicone tape, rescue tape, or masking tape covered with 3m electrical tape?
