Reel Doctor should be able to fix it up

Wholesale sports or the fishing hole should have guides you can buy individually.

I know they have rod tips, but I'm not so sure about the regular guides. Reel Doctor will likely be the best bet.

Just had a rod "tip" repaired at the fishing hole. Real cheap. As was said though not sure about the other guides. Call first

Busted mine while slaying walleye at pigeon two weeks ago. Pretty sure it's past warranty but might try and send it back anyway.

Keep it out of the reach of children. Simple.

Kid see's Dad's rod and he wants to imitate Dad. What else would you expect to happen. If on the other hand you have no children and this was a buddy then he should man up and pay for the repair.

Another reason to consider 2 piece rods I guess.
