  1. If you dont want to try and fix it yourself, take it to your local fly or tackle shop. They usually do easy repairs like that for real cheap.

    p.s. If you dont already own a rod case,you might want to invest in one. I'm not sure how you broke your tip. but, most breakages occur during transportation to or from where you are fishing. Fly rods can be pretty expensive and a decent rod case only costs about $30-$40. Considering a good fly rod can run upwards of $500, it seems like a small price to pay to protect something that valuable.


  2. Throw the rod out and keep the reel. if it snapped and you try fixing it it with throw off your cast... if the eye came off just glue it with heavy-duty super glue.

  3. Do NOT try to fix it, if any has snapped off your fly rod is ruined, you will lose allot of your casting capabilities and bite detection even if its only an inch off the tip of the rod, also finding  hay-fork type tip ring for a thicker diameter yet still suing the finer wire you would find on your rod is hard, if the tip ring has simply cam off it can be glued back on other wise check out the rods warranty.

  4. go to netcraft they have rod tip replacements you can buy for prety cheap
