I've been using the Scotty Orca rod holders when I troll with downriggers for a couple of seasons. The rod holders are chewing up the rod grips. Has anyone else had this issue? Am I doing something wrong?
Get some really good tennis racket hand grip tape and tape over the wear area.
Then always use that rod on the wear side orca holder. I also found the problem to be on one side only.
My cork handles are torn up as well, My plan is to fill the holes with some wood filler or putty and then put heat shrink wraps on them. Hopefully, this takes care of the problem. A lot cheaper than replacing the cork grips.
