tape/whipping

[pookie]

Long shot anyone know if you can get whipping/tape for rods.

Iam looking the stuff you see on boat rods at top of butt the criss cross stuff like on a ugly stick not sure its right name.

I wish to put strength into a rod and have seen in pics and once on a blokes beachcaster on the beach.

any links or stores please advice
