Absolutely Jack. Which is why my right hand remains in contact with the
"reelseat" .

As I said if the cork hood is bonded to the blank , you could experience a
reduction in sensitivity.
But the hoods that we use are not glued to the blank. They are glued to a
100% graphite hood which locks the reelseat in. This hood itself never
touches the blank.

Warren, again I read marketing hype in that article. As to the cork
foregrip, I agree that if it is solidly attached to the blank it might
dampen the "feel" slightly. So the object of the game is to use a hood
that
does not come into direct contact with the blank when the reel is
secured in
place.

Rod,
When your hand or fingers rest on the hood, wouldn't you loose
sensitivity because it is not directly in contact with the blank?
