    Does anyone repair fly rods?

    As the title says I need someone to repair my fly rod... I caught several very nice sun fish on brushy creek today, but my stupid rear end, caught a tree on my back cast and broke the last section of my 4 piece rod off... I’m not real happy with myself, because this is the most expensive rod I’ve bought thus far...

    Does anyone repair rods? I can’t mail it to you and pay for any services...
    Please let me know

                You can’t fix a broken section. Just have to put a new tip on it . Will change the whole feel of the rod more than likely.

                You may try sending it back to the manufacturer. They may cover it.

                  You'll need to get a new section of blank to replace the broken section. The guides can be cut off the broken rod and wrapped on the new blank. There's no way to repair the broken piece.

                      They have lifetime warranty. Just have to pay a little more.

                            Hardy will get you fixed up, shoot them an email and they’ll probably just send you a new section. That’s one of the nice things about buying quality rods. I’ve done it a couple times with my Sage rods and since TFO is in Dallas I just drove over there when i had an issue

                              There are ways to repair sections but on a modern rod I would suggest getting a new section from the manufacture. If you have an older rod that is no longer manufactured or one that has a lot of sentimental value then repair might be an option, but it's hard to make work right and you probably will always be able to tell, especially on the tip.
