Light tackle, I like cork. Heavier boat rods, EVA foam or hypalon is okay as long as it's not too big in diameter (personal preference). Surf rods and some boat rods, cork tape is nice. The nice thing about the cork tape is that it provides a good grip surface. If it's too small in diameter, just give it another layer. And when it wears, just strip the old and re-wrap new cork tape.

I'm a fan off cork grips on all my rods except for the big stuff. I just like the feel of cork when I'm holdnig a rod for extended periods of time...
