If you get some in-between the blank and tip-top, then yes, it will hold it just fine. Put some in the tube and on the rod blank ttself. Like most glues and adhesives, it's pretty darn strong provided you actually get some in the joint.

Now if you have the top you're going to use and know for sure you're going to eventually mount it with epoxy, you might as well do that now and just be done with it. Same thing - get some adhesive down into the tip top tube.
