Ok, received a new cap from Mudhole.

Fits snugly, but there's a gap between the tapered handle and cap opening.  I guess the best thing is to just fill it with glue/sealant.

.... or use black electrical tape to fill the gap so it doesn't mess up the foam

Good idea; will do.

BTW, I noticed the guides on my this new Berrypro rod tilts forward (towards the rod tip).  The center leg is slightly bent to show this guide tilt.  This tilt appears to be on many rods nowadays.  Why?  For better casting? (Shows I've not been up on rod development)

Trying to copy fuji K series.
Any machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

.... and trying to avoid tip wrap.  Those of use fishing in the wind with long twitchy rods are plagued by tip wrap.  Canting the ring forward helps, but is not the whole solution.
