Sorry I did a poor job of explaining what is missing. Only the black cap that holds the weight inside of the butt cap is missing, not the entire grip itself. The grip is still on the blank but has no weight in it so the rod is severely tip heavy.

Fish up the river on bluff walls with a 3/8 or 1/2oz black and blue jig with the skirt trimmed. Should catch a nice mix of LM and spots and could put together a nice sack if you are in the right place at the right time. If you are looking to fish for spawning fish, I would head to Rabbit Branch or Clear Creek downriver and fish the points with a C-Rig for spots and T-Rig lizard for LM. Don't be afraid to fish a frog on top once the sun gets out either.

I have an older Carrot Stix (E21) CLTX-691P-C that I lost the buttcap and weight for. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to rebalance this rob without those parts? The rod is pretty tip heavy as it is right now. Please let me know any tips on how to get this rod back fishable. Thanks, Shawn
