Need some help repairing rod

[Down4ttown]

I have a spinnerbait rod(All Star) that has a loose reel seat. Is there a way to glue or get the cork on the handle end to tighten back up? I would like to give this to my grandfather if I can fix it. If not, then no big deal. Any ideas will be appreciated.

So the cork and the reel seat are loose?  If so, will be a tough job, but possible.  If it's the reel seat only, I can talk you through it pretty easy.

The best bet would be to replace the reel seat and the cork entirely.  It's not a hard job, just one that is a little time consuming, but not out of the realm of anyone reasonably handy with a few hand tools.  And if you can remove the cork and the reel seat, send me the dimensions of the blank.  It's quite likely that I have the right size reel seat and cork to replace them properly....
