Whew, thats tough, try their web page and see if they can fix it. There might be someone here on the forum that repairs them though. I broke my Winston rod 2 years ago and Winston built me a new butt section for it at no charge. They did a hell of a job, If your still coming to RMH this weekend and want to fish I have a few fly rods to use.

whoa now!depending on how much is broken off you can glue a new tip on! as a matter of fact if it is less than 6 inches you may not notice any difference. I have replaced many tips on spinners but so far haven't broken any fly rods-that is a lie-I have one with a broken tip that I will repair as I mentioned above. Or! If you email the manufacturer they may have alternate ideas. I HATE CATHY, as I sit out here on the deck with Abbey. What is this about fishing this weekend? hmmmmmmmmmm...........

I hate Cathy too She fishes way to much..... Hey Tony, the whitefish are on the bite in the Clearwater and Im sure pararie creek is starting to fish now. Might hit up Elk Creek tomorrow Oh were to go, so many choices!! To bad your not around ha ha ha Tell Abbey I love her.... As to jinx's rod I think its broke below the tip, if so May not be able to fix it. If its just the tip your right you can replace it.
