Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein a strip of self-fusing silicon for providing a wrap. The strip has a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface comprises sides and textured surfaces. Another embodiment includes a method comprised of molding self-fusing silicone. Another embodiment includes a strip of self-fusing silicone that includes a top side comprised of a textured surface which is prepared by a process comprising the steps of molding the self-fusing silicone and cutting the self-fusing silicone into at least one strip of self-fusing silicone.

Abstract: A grip for a fishing reel handle knob includes a tubular-shaped main wall having a longitudinally extending central axis and forming a longitudinally extending interior passage sized and shaped for receiving the handle knob and a plurality of gripping flanges extending from an exterior surface of the main wall. The main wall and the gripping flanges are each preferably formed of a resiliently flexible material so that the grip is resiliently secured to the handle knob with elastic action and the gripping flanges resiliently deform when the knob is grasped by the user.
