Purchasing Spinning Reel
I purchased 2 KK Sharky lll not a bad reel for the price. I personally like them and are perfect for the fishing I do. Others may say if it isn't a name brand then you are buying junk. "it is not whats best , but whats best for you"

Budget setups especially cranking
Unless you find a good used combo or a super sale. I don't think you will find a decent setup for under a 100. I am budget minded and my rod was 99.99 and reel was 60+. These were found on ebay and online vendors at Christmas. TW and some others should be having a Memorial Day Sale. My setup is a Dobyns Fury 705CB and Diawa Fuego

Does U40 change feel of cork?
I cleaned the cork with Mr Clean Magic Eraser, let dry then gave a very thin coat. I do not notice any feel difference in the cork. The key is to apply a very thin coat.

Cork vs EVA grips
All my Dobyns rods have cork including my ultra lights. I clean my cork grips once a year with a magic eraser let dry the add a thin coat of cork sealer. Here are a couple of pros opinions : David Fritts Cork "The cork also helps the rod float if it falls into the water" Kevin Van Dam Foam "Cork is good, but it gets slippery when wet" Russ Lane Winn"I also don’t have to squeeze the rod as hard to have a firm grip,”
