Not sure if this is a good place but I'll ask my question anyway. You have an intimate knowledge of rod building. :-) I have a Team Diawa Power Mesh (carbon?) rod that is broken about a foot from the tip. What I’ve found online are instructions to saw the butt portion down to where the tip will fit into the hollow section, epoxy, use thread to wrap the connection, then epoxy it and let dry. If I do it this way then I think I’ll lose about 10-12” of rod in order to get the 2 pieces to fit together.

I was hoping to use a ferrule of some sort but I can't find any that small. If I did cut it down, how do you fill the gap between the sections before you do the wrap? Epoxy?

I appreciate any help.

Thanks
