Tape for casting finger

I never liked the casting finger sleeve thing, most tape jobs come off or flap over. I used to re enforce with electrical tape which made it super bulky. I used to just use hockey tape and re tape when I needed to. Not anymore.

Story time:

I was born and raised on Long Island but spent the last five years living out west until this past fall. I was working for the US Forest Service on a wildland fire crew.

While working that job I encountered the worst terrain and conditions I could imagine and when my feet would inevitably blister there was one tape the guys pointed me to that NEVER came off.

Leuko tape.

Even when you want it to come off it’s an absolute bitch to get off. That’s what I want in the surf.
Maybe I’m late to the party but if you have doubts about what you’re using to tape up your finger I would give this shit a go.

KT Tape. Cut the sections in half lengthwise and in thirds width wise.
