The other week I took my daughter to Squamish and we had loads of fun catching pinks. We had a great day with the only kicker being that I broke my flyrod which is a 4 piece just above where the 3rd and 4th piece join.

I was thinking of getting it repaired as its out of warranty coverage and instead emailed the manufacturer to see if they could sell me the section which broke. They emailed me back in a couple hours and gave me the phone number for parts and I was able to purchase that section for 25% of what the rod cost new.

If you've broken a rod and its out of warranty coverage it might be worth a try to see if you can purchase the broken part instead of getting it repaired.

Good to hear. Which manufacturer?

How long ago did you buy it and where did you buy it from?

Sale of Goods act of BC

Okuma rod which I bought while on vacation 2 years ago in Oregon. Im not absolutely crazy about the rod as it doesnt behave the same as my 2 piece rods when you load up for a decent length cast but I've got a bum shoulder anyway and hardly ever cast more than 50 ft. I wanted an affordale 4 piece and this fit the bill.
