Glue recommendation please

I have an Abu Garcia Fantasista X Casting rod that has a carbon “ cover “ to the part that you screw down to tighten the reel onto the reel seat. Well, that cover has came unglued and it’s loose. It’s not a huge deal, but sometimes when casting the little cover will slide up the rod and hit the hook keeper. Can anyone familiar with this recommend a safe glue I could use to glue the cover back on. Thanks in advance.

Any good gap filling rod epoxy will work, such as U40 rod bond or ProPaste. Even a lower viscosity epoxy, such as Devcon Two Ton epoxy, May also work. Clean up with alcohol, and make sure you don’t inadvertently get epoxy onto the threaded barrel and glue the hood to the reel seat.
