There are several that will work well. Any of the liquid 2-part slow cure epoxies are excellent for all around rod building chores. Gel-type epoxies such as Rod Bond and Kardol also work well and do not run or drip out of assembled joints. 5-minute type epoxies are normally reserved for use in mounting tip-tops. Hot-melt glue is also used for mounting tip-tops, but can allow the top to move or spin if the rod is kept or stored in areas of high temperature.
