    New rod tips can be found at Wal-Mart. They can be put on with hot melt glue. Have done this many times.

    In that case, I think you're out of luck. I don't think what you're describing is possible. I would just glue a new tip-top guide on the tip section you have left. It'll be stiffer, but you will still be able to fish with it.

    You "could" put a insert piece into the hollow of the broken sections of the rod & glue it back together .... but, the action is going to be all messed up, probably.

    You might be better served by purchasing a whole new upper section of the rod ... if available. If it's a BnM rod, contact Jack Wells & tell him your situation. If it was purchased at Wal-Mart ... see if they'll take it back & exchange it.

    Otherwise, tell us what brand/model/length of rod it is, and we'll try & see if we know of any place a replacement tip can be found.

    ... cp
