    How about placing a thicker (or multiple) sections of pool noodle to act as layered drip stops? All you need is enough to make the paddle float. Once you know that, you can cut to sections. For example, if 4" makes the paddle float, you can add 2 1" drip stops to each end, and you've got drip stops and float covered. In the rare case the paddle sections separate, both parts would float.

    I have a 7 foot one piece rod. I split a noodle down a side, at the top used a nylon tie, few inches down from top, squeezing one end tight. I use it as a rod protector. You can get the rod tip to slide pass the closed end, so you might have to seal the center hole with something. Next time I might cut a piece of sponge put into the end hole, before zip tying closed.
