Bought a "damaged" rod from the bargain cave at Cabelas yesterday for about 75% off new the only issue is the butt cap is missing (will post pictures later). Any place online I should look at ordering a replacement cap?

I would think a butt cap could just be affixed to the end of the handle with epoxy/glue/adhesive? I would call the guy at mudhole and talk it out with him. Hes also a rod builder so he can steer you straight with the correct parts and if you could DIY.

if all it is is the butt cap i would just order a new one. the rod epoxy is expensive.
If he wanted i could meet and mix some up for him so he wouldnt have to buy a whole tub.

The inside part where the glue was attached is 13/16" wide and 3/16" tall
The width where the grip starts is 1-1/16"
For comparison

Just glue a bottle cap off your favorite beer and forget about it.

I meant to call them and ask what the dimensions were but ill probably just buy that and hope it works, worst case I take a Dremel to it.

That was kind of what I thought, figured somebody, like yourself, who had played around with building from scratch would know.
If it works and costs me $10 max, I'm $35 into a $100 rod. If it doesn't I can saw off the nub, sand it down and re-wrap it or dip it in some kind of rubber compound, Just trying to not jug myself in the ribs with a jagged piece of fiberglass setting the hook.

You could always just glue another piece of cork/EVA onto the end and file/sand it down.
