Can't not with out making it look worse as it's been varnished around the blank end. My issue with shrink wrap is that it actually moves and although there is glue lines heat shrink that's thicker (like me) anyway the wrap at the butt end has been pushed up the blank and a butt stop end pushed and kinda glued in.

I don't like metal seats either, had them on some rods before, hated them in the hot, hated them in the cold, and hated holding them for long periods as they'd get sweaty and slippery.
My rods are pretty marmite, I'd have a pretty limited market if I sold them

And thats just the point , you should buy/build what you want not what other people tell you you want , most rods are now built on looks not performance.And dont get me started on 50ml guides !

I have the old KM alps seats on my rods love them really never got my head round the Century reel seat just a no go from the off. They look great however the functionality from extreme weather rule them out for a start.
As for 50mm I wish I didn't get them sadly at the time they seemed sensible. They work ok with my Tournie 6ks not so well with my ISOs which has resulted in a compromised blank that's far to heavy and lacks response. Anyway lesson learnt.
