I've built and/or repaired more rods than I count and I'd do exactly what Spence described. (Except for the bring it to CMS part).

The beatings will continue until morale improves

Twist the cap in the same direction as the tape.

Sound advice. I'll add my .02 cents here...I like the Fuji butt caps myself but if you're using the butt as a walking staff of sorts, a crutch cap would serve you well. Any medical supply store(if there's one local to you) should have a good selection. In the event the cap is too large, you can build up the butt with an extra layer of cork tape.

Truly a wealth of useless information.
