your best bet is to bring the rod to your local tackle shop that may have some rod building supplies, such as butt caps. that way you can get the correct size cap once the old one is removed. that is if they assist in removing it. they are typically glued on, but not always.
i dont know if the rod's lower grip is cork tape, eva, or cork ring, so i'm assuming a lot here. you can try and ease into the old butt cap w/ a razor blade and start to cut it off. once you get thru a piece you should be able to see what, if anything, is under the butt cap. then, either keep going w/ the razor blade, or take a screw driver and try to break the adhesive. then turn it or pull it off. if it's just the blank under it, you're all set. take a measurement in metric millimeter and/or english inch of the size of the butt of the rod where you just took off the butt cap. now, go buy a butt cap w/ an ID equal to, but not larger than that measurement. i suggest the fuji brc or brcgc butt caps, especially if you use the butt as a cane. these butt caps come in 19, 22, and 25 mm ID. you can also buy the end caps for chair feet at a local hardware store. they are in english measurements, but dont last nearly as long.
