Hey FishnChips, I am a rod builder and could fix this up for you as well. You can email me at ccfly.ca(at)gmail.com if you'd like. Steve

Good morning Brent, Excellent, thank you.

Remove the old glue residue - light scraping should work. Try not to damage the visible part of the burl insert. Reglue with something like 3M 2216 epoxy. 2216 does not set as hard and glass-like as most other epoxies. Be sure to clean all new epoxy out of the reel seat pocket. Drill and pin the butt cap with .040" Nickle Silver wire - two pins at 90 degrees either side of the pocket. I have the stuff you need and plenty of time on my hands - PM me if you want some help with this simple fix. Regards Brent
