Last time out on the beach my 2 piece rod came loose at the ferrule and I didn't realize it. I cast and heard a little crack then the upper piece flew off mid cast. Upon inspection I found the male ferrule to be cracked about 2 inches down the section. For reference, this is a rod I built on a rain shadow IM6 9' 6 weight blank.
Can it be saved? Is there anything I can do to stabilize it and continue to use it? I'm not really in a place to buy a new beach stick...
