The last two rods I built had the same cork grip/reel seat as yours. As I was placing the little plug cork, I was thinking how kewl it would look with something else on the butt end .... now I know what to use!!!! Thank you!!

PS ... what is this fishhawk burgundy of which you speak??
Betty, I think I have a bright and shiny Kansas Quarter I can dome for you to use as a butt cap. State Quarters make great butt caps. The nice thing is that if someone loses it, it only costs 25 cents to replace it!
