Don't know about pipe insulation ... but, check your "dollar stores" for Fun Noodles/Pool Noodles and get the biggest diameter ones. "Big Boss Pool Noodles" are 5' long & 3.5" in diameter ... so for a dollar, you get five rig wraps one foot long.
We also use them to wrap the upright bar on our pole holders, and sometimes even the top bar between the holders. Hooks, cranks, and even "pre-rigs" can be stuck on them ... and they also help cushion any body or rod contact with the T-bar.

A buddy of mine uses them to hold pre-rigged sinker/jig setups for spider rigging. He uses trolling sinkers (the ones with loop eyes on both ends) and ties the leader to one loop eye, then a jig on the leader. He splits the noodle lengthwise on one side, to the center hole, then binds it back together with plastic zip ties. He inserts the sinker into the split, then wraps the leader around the noodle & anchors it by sticking the jig hook into the noodle.
