No, it can’t be repaired to function like original

The “repairs” are a way to keep fishing, temporarily, if you are remote enough that you can’t buy/borrow a replacement. Repaired rods won’t cast well at all, and the repairs will fail in fairly short order. Maybe you get a few days, maybe not.

I have done a couple, one with willow/nylon backing/duct tape, in the hills. And one with epoxy at home. Both got replaced.
