whatever you do dont put it on the same side as the rings! and keep it down a bit from the very tip of the rod, to help prevent the line gettin caught on it during the cast. a few wraps with any kind of thread and then a few coats of a clear nail varnish will hold these in place if you are not that particular about how it looks!(hard as nails)is a good varnish for the job
good luck
