Pete, if you'll click on my website below and go to TACKLE TIPS, I have an article I wrote on repairing a broken rod tip. It has also been printed in several outdoor magazines. It is really easy to do and you won't notice any difference in the way your rod handles. Try it!

Cheers, and if this link doesn't work, try the one at the bottom of the page in my signature line.

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
