Source for short cork fighting butts...

Well, I think I'll build another SC4 in the 9' 7# for steelhead, but I would like to put a shorter Scott style fighting butt on it. I've used the PacBAy 2" on a 8# rod, but it is too long and sometimes gets the line hooked around it. Anyone know a a source for a shorter fighting butt?
