My last one I used Kar-dol. Shoved a styrofoam peanut in from the back end and packed it full, installed the hook. I was using a cut-off piece of a calstar blank (butt). had to grind the little tail piece to get it in.

Found this today! Seems to be a CO-2 fired casting rod, less than 4 feet long has a foam covered metal butt grip that holds the CO-2 cartridge. And a heavy chrome plated reel seat with a moving bolt like a rifle with a thumb accuated trigger. I believe it must have had a shaft of some sort that lanched a bobber or something? Blank is hollow with two guides and a sliding 8-10" tip section
