Penn Sidewinder Evo 1

Hey lads,

I broke this rod recently, when in mid cast the top section parted with the bottom section. the fitting is something similar to a ferrule fitting, where the top section slides into the bottom section.
Anyway, as it parted, the force of the cast caused the bottom section to crack/shatter, at the very top where the top section of the rod slides in. (Am I making any sense at all?!)
the result is the bottom fitting is now substantially weakened, and I haven't dared to cast it again. the little shatters/cracks in the carbon extend about 5-10mm down the section.
Would it be possible to cut off the damaged section, rewhip it, and do a light sanding job to make the top section fit the bottom section once again?

Apologies if I have made no sense at all, if needed, I can post a photo of the damage.

Thanks for any help or advice,
Patrick.

Not too sure with the repair job youre planning, but if you have no joy I could sell you one of mine as im in the process of upgrading. Let me know anyhow how you get on with your repairs.

Cheers Julio
