Dunno, what kind of rod? I'm not aware of many 3 pc surf rods other than some high end, big buck distance rods.

I don't think you could use the same rod as they tend to be setup to have a specific strength to the but, a certain power at a certain percentage of the blank from the tip... All kinds of factors. If you did it and it resulted in a lousy action, you would have 0 rods in that class...

You would be much better off with a new rod.
