I cracked the tip of my fly rod on a rock last year. I like the rod and don't want to replace it but do you recommend a patch job or should i just reinvest in a new rod?

First how far down is it cracked, if it is only a few inches, just cut it off there and add a new tip, you can get them from most sporting goods places, rember though you want a ring tip with no inner tip, or it wont cast as far. I own a nice St Croix and did the same thing, and I just found a shop near me and let the owner take care of me.

First I would check the warranty, you might just be able get a new one for free. Secondly I would call the company and see if you can just purchase a replacement top portion of the rod. If not you can score the the tip right below th break so there is a good spot to put on a new tip, however you are going to lose some sensitivity.
