Look at this handle and give me ideas to help fix it. It is on a custom Loomis graphite rod from a few years ago. I want to try to level out the cork above the reel so there is not the big drop off. I figure if I can findsomething I can put there maybe wrap it with reel tape to hold it in place but what.

I was when I got the rod and it was already messed up and the builder never offered to change it. I was stuck as the rod was paid for already.
