I suggest taking the broken part and fixing it.


Maybe a little more information would be useful. Maybe a descriptive topic title would help. Maybe you should think about what you're posting before you post and consider whether anyone can answer what you're asking with what you've written.

I do the repairs/warranty rod work at Fred's.  If you are nearby drop it off for me to have a look. :)

What type of rod is it (make and model) and did it break in the tip or butt section.

It's a $40 rod brand new.  Probably going to cost about that to fix maybe time for a new/used rod.

X2 berkley was great to deal with when i broke my Air IM8  10' spinning rod.  they replaced it quick and easy.
EDIT** go to your local tackle shop and ask if they got an old tube laying around you can send it back...
