My Tarsacci is well designed, the handle is smooth carbon fiber, but did not come with a rubber hand grip (like my Simplex). When I first start out, it's not a problem, but as the day wears on, it can get a little slippery. Not a big deal, but does anyone have any grip tape recommendations? Thanks!

I use vet wrap on mine. I get it at Tractor Supply. It comes in several colors and is cheap.

This is the same thing I use. Other than I pick mine up in the sports medicine section of the drugstore. Works well and easy to replace when it gets dirty.
 
I use 3M vetrap. It sticks to itself but does not get sticky in the hand. I tried other brands and did not like the glue in my hand after using the machine. When it gets to looking bad i just take it off and replace.

Try Tractor Supply. They have the best price I've found and a good selection of colors if you care about that. I believe it is 3M brand too.

Cliff I bought vetrap from Tractor Supply and trying to get the glue off my hands after a day at the beach made the higher price of the 3M brand worth while.
 
I got the Winn fishing rod grip wraps on my Equinox and love it. All different colors and patterns. I already had some from wrapping my favorite fishing rods. I have no affiliation. I just like the grip.

That has glue. The vet wrap is easy to change when it gets dirty. Just peel it off and re-wrap.

Cliff you got the good stuff. My local Tractor supply had a different brand and it left glue on my hands. Between the glue and the sand that stuck it was a mess.

I've never seen vet wrap with glue. I guess I got lucky. My wife uses it often for various things. It comes in handy.

Good to know. Have used F4 type tape mentioned in another thread. There's a 3M equivalent mastic electrical tape with no adhesive.
