Question repairing 2 pc. rod

I have an old 2 pc. surf rod that I need some Ideas. The rod plugs straight into the reel seat. Problem the ferrel at the end of the rod was "glued" back on crooked. I have removed & cleaned out cork sheeting & mystery substance. The rod is 5/8" the ferrel is about 7/8. Should I use layers of string and epoxy or turn a hard wood bushing to take up slack. I don't think the cork was strong enough and shifted.
