Hi Guy's,

Just after your views on cork knobs on reels what is the purpose behind them?

cheers

Weight saving and perhaps a bling factor.

Personally i dont like em as i dont think that they are durable or last long!!

All diawa knobs are compressed cork anyhow, just with a black, or grey rubber coating...

The RCS type are the same excpet the coating is clear, the ones you want are the limited edition ones from reels such as CVZ and some Ito reels, these are pure cork, as per a rods grips, no coatings...

They will obviously show wear though, like your grips do upon contact with dirty hands...
