I have a nice Point Blank rod blank that got snapped in half during a move. It’s a 7’-6” medium rod and I have looked for a set of ferrules to make it a 2 pc rod but no luck.

I have ordered two St Croix 5SW70MF for a pair of Inshore rods, one spinning and one Baitcasting mainly for speckled Trout. I want to go with the split handle grips and
