My friend brought over a Penn 6 ft salt/stand up rod that is missing the plastic cover. The outside dia of the slick butt is 1.25 inches. Most any thing I can find is larger diameter........He,s picky. wants it to be flush. Even removing the metal gimble is ok. The gimble is about 2 inch long. I could shorten it ...... Any links or insites? I havent tried Penn butt thats my last preference.
Thoughts or advice? Most slickbutts i have have larger diameter tubes. Thanks. gst :)
Pac Bay makes some that size. If I need one I take the rod to the tackle store and find one that fits.
You can also use a cap for a walking crutch. They work fine.
Thanks for the ideas, butt the guy wants it flush with the slickbutt.... I think the Penn Slickbutt is about i/8 inch smaller than most Ive got or seen. I did find some plasitic caps at Mudhole Supply. Its my only option right now...... ??? ???
