Rubber
Is Good

Using a rubber right at the rear end
makes a lot of sense. Anglers tend to
stand their rods on its butt. Cork is
slippery and it damages easier. Plastic would be ugly as hell and slippery.
Metal will dent and / or scratch, and
not to mention... is slippery. Rubber
makes so much sense being not slippery and being able to withstand damage better.
