Worth The Repair?

[Miller 197]

Long story short my raider snapped 

Its a 9ft 4 piece raider travel rod. It is the top section that has snapped.

These rods retail at $139. On special they can be about $100

 

I have never had a rod repaired and was wondering how much i would expect to pay to get something like this fixed. Or if i should just cut my loss and get a newbie

I have contacted shimano direct and via BCF and they dont sell individual sections 

What do you guys think?

That's a terrible spot to break. Probably better off taking all your guides off as spares, and cutting your losses.

Not really worth it with a graphite rod mate. Heaps of spare guides and a new rod to play with. None of these things are negative!

Thanks for the reply's fellas, thought that may be the case.

Time to get a new rod 

I have a terez that's in need of a new top guide so i guess it worked out well ... sort of haha
