Default Broken rod!! HELP

Hi folks, My mate and i were out fishing today and lo and behold, first cast and he was in to a nice fish,thought he was in for a great day. 15 mins later and disaster Still dont know how he managed it and neither does he but he snapped the tip section of his rod,not at the join but further up. Not a happy bunny!! Anyway i was wondering if anyone could tell me if your able to buy rod sections seperatly to save him from buying a whole new rod It's a Greys GRXI rod, i've had a little look online and cant find anywhere that sells them seperatly, will get in touch with Greys and see if they can sort him out but maybe someone on here might know of somewhere else?

Cheers

Think they do mate yes but he bought it maybe 18 months ago and cant find it unless they would replace it without needing to see warranty but i doubt it. Will phone them in morning and ask.

Don't worry. Greys will replace it for you and in my experience, still at the warranty price.

Default broken rod

cost me £25 about 12 months ago to replace broken top section, you will have to send a small piece,about 4 inches to match up the two sections,give them a call and they`ll take you the procedure.
