If your adventurous find a tip of similar taper. sand it clean and fit it tight inside the other rod. Fit butt ist then fit the tip.Line it all up to check fit. Use some hd epoxy and glue it together. After its set sand it smoothe then wrap the break with a thread similar color to the rod. It will be a bit heavier action but it will still work. I've repaired amny broken rods like that and they're still working from what the owners told me.Just a little stiffer action. Ron
