I have a odm 9ft genesis and a lamiglas 8ft GSB and the butt caps have come unglued.  I don’t think it’s from use because the rods are fairly new.  What epoxy should I use to re-glue the butt cap on?

Why aren’t you fishing?

Did any glue stick inside the caps or did it all stay on the rod?  Are the caps rubber?

 

Might need to clean inside of caps with alcohol and dry completely then use paste epoxy.

There was no glue on the inside of the caps, and the caps are rubber.

I always buy rubber butt caps slightly undersized, warm them up in boiling water and push them on. Never had one fall off and they need some force to shift them. If you have to use a glue then you need some form of flexible adhesive.

Thanks for the info.
