merv if you take the rod to belfast angling centre he will know someone who can repair the broken rings mate ,the shrink tube is very easy to put on and you would be well capable of doing it your self but failing that harry will do it for you or get it done for you.cheers john

as far as the coasters thing goes, if i was you i would find a fugi reel seat at the correct diameter of the butt of the rod and fit it in the position that suits you best.
if a rod comes with coasters i use them to find the best position on the rod for the reel then fit the reel seat here.

fixed reel seats all the way for me too BUT I picked up one of those Talon reel seats from veals. Vey very secure, these things blow coasters out of the water on all counts
