OK, so I got a replacement tip section from Lamiglas. But it looks as though this was either not made long enough or someone cut it down too short.

Due to an unfortunate accident with my brother's kid, I now need a new tip section lol. About 8-10" snapped off the end. I took the rod in to a local rod builder who swears he can fix it as close to new as possible but I'm not too
