If the rod isn't too old then Bryan's suggestion should be followed. However, rod manufacturers aren't like car manufacturers in that they guarantee to manufacturer car parts for 5 years after discontinuing the model. Tackle manufacturers don't do that.

Rod repairs can be effective, depending on where the blank is broken. A repair sometimes affects the action creating dead spots etc plus you'll simply have a old repaired rod afterwards. It might be better to swallow your pride and just buy a new one, but then it is Christmas.
