If you have access to broken sections of rods they can be used for the larger areas on the rod. A good place to find these are in the trash cans at the boat docks. I have a constant supply from one of the local resorts.
Two weeks ago I had my favorite rod snap at the male ferrule. I have a lot of scarp sections in the shop and was able to find a section the right size and taper to fit the female ferrule. Used it to make a new male ferrule section, rod is as good as new.

Hi, everyone! Quick question for the group - is it possible (and worthwhile) to fix a broken-tipped fly rod? It was fine until a certain fiance of mine (not mentioning names...) closed a door on the tip, and SNAP! off goes the tip. I'd say 3 or 4 inches of the 4-5wt is now a new mini-rod to itself ;)(from an LL blank, my first home-made rod, as of yet unfished). Just a curious guy 5 days before his wedding thinking, "she broke the rod... what am I getting into?!" All joking aside, accidents happen, and it's all good. Just curious if it can be fixed. Tight wraps, everyone, Pete
