Did your rod snap in half? If so, then i think its best to get a new rod hey. Your rod wont be the same again after being snapped and then fixed. It wont have the exact same action as before

Its near the top so it wont affect it to much , i used to have rods fixed at sollys but i had a fall out with them so ya

If you're a bit handy, you can fairly easily do it yourself but you need another similar rod to make a sleeve.
It's never quite the same again, but can still last a good number of years of happy fishing after repair.
My current favorite rod broke about 5 years ago, I made a temporary repair (which became permanent) and still use it every day.

Problem is i dont have another rod to cut up or it would be finished already , you see the thing about sollys is that they sold me the rod already broken and wont refund it , as they dont give reciepts . . So they can dodge the tax man i presume , anyways il never support them again !
